Air conditioned 2000 TC

It seems that this conversion continues to be improved.
Through the years that i run the A/C in my car, i realised that having the condenser and auxiliary fan fitted that high, impeded the natural airflow to the radiator when the car was on the move. So the idea was modify the instalation, and fit the condenser as low as i could, along with the auxiliary fan behind the blind part of the front valance, where it is needed most, and won't impede the airflow to the radiator. So everything came out, and while i was there i took the opportunity for a good clean and to remove the entomological collection imbedded in the condenser and the radiator. Fitting everything according to the plan wasn't exactly straightforward, because the clearances were rather tight, and i had to attend the viscous fan installation in order to gain a few more mm (or thou? !) between the engine driven fan and the radiator.
In the end, everything fell into place and i was happy both with the looks and the operation. The only (temporary) drawback now is that a couple of A/C hoses are stretched over the battery a little, and spoil the neatness of the installation, but the pipework and its routing will be changed when i will be able to install the converted heater box.
