Thanks for the tip Gavin. How does your coolant system work now? Are you happy overall with the row coolant system?

Dave,
If you ever intend to travel to hot climates in the summer, I'd leave the parts in. It wouldn't be too hard to source the other parts and pieces, and adapt the EJ compressor hoses to the VW stuff.
As far as function of the raditor is concerned, I don't have the knowledge to comment on that.
PS - On the RMW coolant lines, you will not be able to use the same metal straps that hold your current ones in place. I tried to rebend mine, and they would still not fit.
I eneded up fabbing my own straps to hand them, and drilled some new holes to attach one end of the strap to the body. Just an FYI.

Hi,
I'm in the process of installing new stainless steel coolant pipes, new radiator, and switching over to the Rocky Mountain Westy reversed manifold system.
My question is: should I just remove the AC condenser (radiator) for good while I'm at it? The rest of the AC components were removed long ago for more storage. I think the AC radiator is one piece, but it is a weird shape that is separated into a small and large rectangles. I'd like to understand that part better.
It will result in a lot more air getting to the radiator with that thing removed, thus my hesitation...
Thanks,
Dave
