a/c condenser removal - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

i have taken all of the a/c components out of my sr s13 except the condenser (radiator like thing that goes in front of regular radiator). the question is: should i take it out for better air flow or leave in to protect the radiator?

Take them shits out. Weight down!

Removing it frees up room but it also reduces some of the directional airflow through the radiator since you've created large gaps on either side of it. Better to seal up the sides with something if you plan on removing it.

And blow all the air around the radiator?

Electric fans will never outflow the clutch fan and by not ducting the radiator once the condensor is removed you're wasting a ton of energy trying to push air across it.
