AC Fan Removal

[yesItsdsm]

I removed my AC system the other day because it wasnt working anyway. My question is, Can I remove the AC fan too? Does the Ac fan only come on with the ac system or should I leave it there? I'm turboing my car and I could use the extra space under the hood. Losing some weight woulnt be bad either.

Yes you can dump the AC fan.

The AC fan is there for the AC and when temps get too high, it kicks on to aid in engine cooling.

You'll probably be fine just running one engine cooling fan, but keep an eye on it. It wouldn't hurt to purchase a 10" or 12" slim fan and wire it in so you have two cooling fans.

Since the condensor isn't in front of the radiator anymore I should get more air while cruising. I think a datalogger might help me out by allowing me to watch temps. while I'm in traffic or something.

You will definately get more airflow with the condenser removed.
