Hey guys, heres the deal.

Over the winter i installed a doityourself type of intercooler, johnny racecore core with some ebay piping, and i routed it kinda weird becuase its the only way i could get it to work with what i had. Sadly, the passenger side radiator fan had to go to make space for a pipe. Now i have a small problem, my car will begin to heat up when im at a stop with my air conditioner on when it is very warm out (85 and up). Also it seems to make my a/c not work as well.

My idea for a solution was to wire a fan up to my old fog light switch and run it when i had the air conditioner on or whenever it was very hot, since the car isnt usually getting too hot. I think i would have to have a 10" fan to get it to fit in this particular location.. but a 12 might work, as long as it could push around what the stock one did. Any input on this idea or alternative ones? Also, our fans stock are a pull type correct? thanks guys!
 
Sounds like a lot of work. An easier way would to buy a slimline fan and install it where the radiator fan was. You did remember to keep that relay assembly that was attached to the a/c fan, correct?

I still have the a/c fan, i dont have the other fan. But no matter, i have everything that was on it, and an extra stock fan even... though im not really sure what a relay is.
