Hrm.... what I do to keep my ac condensor and radiator clean:
I keep a little jack I bought from a salvage place, it came off a honda, I think..
I jack it up to give me room.. to get under it
I would spray water on it to lose up dirt, and pick off the big trash
I had modify an air tip to bend so it can give me a 90 degree angle
I blast it out...
... Hopes this gives you some idea...

Hi There,
Bought mine from elite engineering last year. No debris for me. No rise in coolant in temperature.Custom fit, nice quality item, no drilling required even has a cut out for the IAT.Screen is curved but requires a little more bending by hand.

One thing you should do while you are in there cleaning the A/C condenser is make sure the foam pieces that seal the gap between the condenser and the shroud are still in place. If you do a lot of high speed driving they tend to blow outwards into the engine compartment and that results in outside air bypassing the A/C condenser and the radiator.
