Default Help: Procharger Stage II and larger radiator

I am working on a car installing a larger cut down radiator and he currently has a procharger stage II kit with the dual intercoolers. The issue I am having is since both of the "Y" pipes are solid I am not able to get the radiator to sit in its proper location and have the hood close (its pushing the radiator up). The A/C condenser is hitting the front "Y" pipe and the rear "Y" is wedged between the fans and the sway bar leaving no wiggle room. Has anyone had this issue? He did say the car was in an incident after the procharger was originally installed and the cradle was replaced, but not with the procharger cradle but the body shop modified a stock one to work, I wonder if that may be the issue? I have installed quite a few of these radiators on kits like A&A and ECS with no issues.

I had same issues when I upgraded to Dewitt's and Spall fans.
I had to replace most of the tubing and reroute to other side of sway bar.
Or you can drop cradel, move rad, or/and switch to a FMIC.

That's exactly what I was thinking had to be done but wanted to make sure before I started modifying all of it since it's not my car. Thank you.

Welcome. It is rather a PIA, and not optimal, but it worked for me.
