Seriously, how often are you guys "bottoming out" anyway? XD

I'm sure it could be executed nicely, perhaps with a low profile fan and some sort of ducting. Hell, maybe I'll try to do something like this when I put my car back together. Just need to get the car up on the lift to see what kind of space is avail...

They also have more than one condenser no? If you mount your condenser flat, you will lower its efficiency by a major margin.

Ok so I agree it isn't a terrible idea but since you are in the boroughs as well, I would be too paranoid a pot hole or man hole cover will rip it right off. The roads in NYC are by far one of the worst imo @_@

More than willing to share my mounting info. Again, check out my A/C install thread. It shows pretty clearly how the lines were run. If Ihor is helping do the fabrication and install, just have him contact me if he has any questions.
