Yes, I think in front of the AC condensor is the right place.

I'm trying to get a Fluidyne unit, and thinking of a lightweight fan. I might need room for the VQ30DET Motor.

-Peace
OK -boy hehehe

Ooooooooo Fluidyne. Those are quite expensive.

Matthel mentioned the price and I was like It'll work well with your DET motor. They don't have one for the Max so you'll have to custom mount it, right?

Alright guys... back to the subject
Kev, what happened to the pics of your trans cooler?
If you can post those or email them to me, I would much appreciate it!!!
If I am planning to leave room for a oil cooler and a intercooler, where is the best spot... upper right or upper middle? Suggestions please!!! ( If I am looking at the ac condensor from the front of the car )

No problem!

Now that I think about it, the oil cooler would be in the way of the intercooler because the OC is mounted where the bottom opening of the bumper. Unless you mount the OC somewhere else, it will either be behind or in the way of the IC.
