Sleep, Taking off the fans would probably make things a LOT easier, I mounted my tranny cooler to the condensor only, but that was tricky enough to get the wire ties through and back through to make a loop. Taking off at least that one fan would help, but you'd have to jack your car up and get the plastic skid plate from underneath to get the other 2 bolts.

Totally can't wait for spring, paint job comes in spring too Right now, it's all construction and ripping things apart, I'm looking forward to spring cuz hopefully the CL will be back together better than ever and road worthy.
Sleep, that battery is an everstart from walmart, they cost like $40. I use it as a spare battery just to move my car in and out of the garage. I have an optima yellow top, and that is my main battery, she's out getting cleaned and ready for her new terminals, charging wires, alternator and ground kit

Oh, I also wrapped my new rad hoses in steel braided sleeves, but the new honda hose clamps were too hard to get on with the steel braided sleeves in the way, so we ripped them off, oh well, at least i don't have to do the rest of the lines, like the fuel lines and pcv lines like i was plannin on doin.
If anybody wants to buy a steel braided hose kit cheap, pm me

Huy, thought of a trick for you. If you can't get the wire ties through easily, just undo the 4 bols holding the 2 brackets on the outside ends, take the 2 brackets that overhang the rad, and it should be able to just fall forward an inch or 2, be careful not to crimp the hoses in the back, but you shouldn't have to take the fans off then, you should be able to work them in and out of the condensor easier that way.

Thanks bro, but i figured another way ...
I don't need to remove the fan assembly, just push the mounting ties that come with the kit through the AC and the rad. The ties will protrude past the fan blades, cap the ties and trim the extra lenght, it won't touch the blades... i'll post a pic of how it looks tomorrow...

Nice, that's one way to do it, I just looped mine back through, so I figured leaning the rad forward an inch or 2 would work for people for future installs.

Few newer pictures, gettin ready to straighten all the finds on the A/C condensor and take the tranny cooler off, and paint the condensor with radiator gloss black paint.
Also have the Skunk2 1.3 kg/cm high pressure rad cap.
Also found when they rebuilt my tranny, they put an external line filter on the tranny, this is between the tranny and my tranny cooler
Picked some of this up, since I was workin on the tranny lines
For Greg (Dragon) that said my new rad didn't look new, this is the rad
