A/C options 55 f100 with 460

So, I have my headers done (pictures in gallery this weekend) and have the radiator core mounted with a mid 70's F150 3 core radiator.

Now, I didn't fit this before I finished the engine mount welding, so the clearance from the water pump pulley to the radiator is about 1 inch(lucky!). No problem, I'll just put the electric fan on the front as a pusher..

But, I want to do A/C as well, So, for those that have this combo, F100, with 429/460, and A/C, what did you use as the condensor, radiator and fan?

forum search didn't find any info.

thanks..

Sam

I used a four core radiator with stock mounting from mid-fifty,(guaranteed to cool 460 with air)
Vintage air Gen II
Mechanical fan 17"

From what I've read, your going to have fun trying to keep your engine temp down with a pusher.

But what do I know.
