and that works. Will be posting more on that.

As far as the condensor is concerned when you put the new one in
dont forget the A/C system will have to be leak checked and a VAC
pulled on the system before the refrigerant and some oil is added. Very
important because moisture will wreck your aA/C system. Make sure
a competent, qualified person does this. VERY IMPORTANT.
shouldn't be a problem... the friend who accidentally punctured the condensor is a certified technician, believe it or not.
he's coming over with a new condensor to install later on today. i'll be sure to remind him to do those things though. thanks for the heads up!

Now that I see you can get the vararam with a pre-cut shroud, I'll be getting that instead of the Halltech.

Good idea if you should ever revert the car back to stock you will have all the stuff. The vararam is a true ram air, your car will run much better
