AC Fan removal

[syrushcw]

Well I already removed my AC and in doing the wire harness and Im debating removing the AC fan, thats the second fan on the radiator correct? Well anyways in my searches Ive seen alot of pictures of people w.o AC and still have both fans. Is there a reason for this? Do they turn the AC control on to activate the secondary fan to cool the coolant more is there any gain in this>? This is just from my observation.

I ran my 1g as a daily driver w/o the a/c fan with no problems. I removed it for room, looks and weight savings 1/4 mile /street car

Also removed mine, with the fuse box for the a/c also. Make sure you know which one it is (the one on the driver side) my friend removed the wrong one during summer and I had to tell him a week after when i saw the car the wrong fan was taken off.

Drove my most of last year without the AC fan in 100+ heat. Never a problem.

I cut the wire out from the fuse box and follow it from there.

After i got a new radiator and took A/C off I wired u a seconed slimline fan to the A/C switch so if I get stuck in traffic I could turn it on with the ac button.

Sounds like a sexy idea!

Why not run a second pusher fan on the front side of the radiator (if you dont have A/C) or on the front side of the A/C if you still have A/C. There should be some space there. I would always try to avoid removing cooling capacity from what the car had stock. If anything, I would think you should have a goal to increase cooling capacity as you increase power production.

What do u think will cool better spray on the intercooler or a little fan on the intercooler? I mean because ## not taking away cooling if u removed ac and the ac fan
