Typically an A/C condenser is located in this position, but this is a conversion car w/ a 6 installed (not sure which)… I don’t see a vertical radiator and also the dual fans are throwing me on this if it’s just A/C. I've never seen a horizontal radiator, but then.. that's not saying it couldn't be a thing.

If I'm looking at the fittings correctly, looks like one is an oil cooler and the other for AC.

I think I see an ac pressure switch but what we really need to see is hoses.
Could be both, ac and oil cooler. That's a lot of fan. addl: clicked on the image made it big enough to see. it's both. oil cooler pass side. ac condenser driver side. |

Ah, air cooled I guess.. not sure why but I was assuming it was water cooled. Still, this is a unique setup, would love the details.. and to know how well it all works. |
