A/C placement with single turbo fmic setup

Hey guys, just wondering what the best setup is for the a/c exchanger when installing a fmic and a new rad. I thought I might be able to actually have it face directly down, so as to not interfere with airflow from the intercooler to the rad. Whats the census?

what good would facing it directly down? in my opinion, if your going to keep it put it behind the intercooler and in front of the rad. I was thiking about a vmout setup style too, but with the intercooler in the front and the radiator and a/c condenser behind it.

Well i thought having the condenser facing down would eliminate some of the flow restriction it would cause sitting between the intercooler and the rad. Also, I dont use my a/c that often and dont really know about how much flow is really required for the condenser. Anyone have sme insight here.

If you don't have the condenser in line with the fans and airflow ac operation will suffer, especially when driving slow or stopped. If you're going to move it you are going to need to put auxiliary fans on it.
