removing AC condensor fan
Hey all,
the use of my new turbo manifold will require removal of the normal AC condensor fan. For the moment, i might just run without the fan, I know my AC would suffer, but its better than removing it. I plan on adding a Pusher fan as soon as i can, but its another headache i dont need right now.
Anyway, Is this safe to do? Is the only consequence that my AC wont be as cold? Or could i potentially damage components?

You'll be ok without it until you get a pusher fan. just don't use your a/c while you're idling waiting around. Once you're moving the condensor fan is rarely used.

It won't transfer heat as well, but as far as damaging things, you should be ok. If worst comes to worst, the pressure in your system will kick a pressure switch, then shutting off the compressor clutch until pressure goes back down.
