The condensor is something that really needs fresh air to be efficient. This is why they are always mounted to get the air first. It could work depending what type of refrigerant you are using. ES12 is extremely efficient, and what I would recommend. R12 would be next, and then R134.

Anything is possible as far as fabrication goes. But it really depends how efficient the system would be in warm weather.

No problem.

With the same concept in mind, would it be easier to put it below the radiator?

Ultimately, the condensor is thin, and does not restrict air flow much at all. Unless you are tracking the car, mounting it on top of the radiator like most other Vmounts would probably be the ideal location.

Also, you could mount the condensor in the middle of the "V". It would be an effective splitter, and still get a large amount of direct air. I believe Greddy does this with their kits. And with their price, they better have some R&D to back it up.
