Continuing to work on my AC project. The gauges and switches are all pre-wired and the mounts to hold the mock-up evaporator/blower are completed. Starting to mount the condenser and cooling fan. The condenser is a Vintage Air Super Flow 17" by 19". I was listed for a 1940 Ford but fits the Packard perfectly. The fan is a Zirco 16" reversible with quiet running curved blades. Due to the placement of the radiator and water pump the fan will be mounted in the front of the radiator. As received it was a "puller" to be mounted to the back of the radiator but it is reversible so the fan was removed and turned around and turned into a "pusher". The 12V polarity checked for pusher operation. The fan was "almost" direct fit to the brackets on the condenser but "almost" wasn't quite good enough so some mounting brackets were made to attach the fan. The only issue I've run into so far is being able to drill the holes for the lower condenser mounting brackets to the car. Hope I don't have to pull the grille!
