I'm tryin to get this 31" summit radiator in my 93 lx......Does anyone with this radiator have A/c and how did you get it to fit if you do....It will not fit width wise.

also how did you get the fan shroud to fit?

Sorry if this question is repetitive but i have wasted way to much time searching and I need to get this in.

I just started to install there direct fit. I can say width wise it goes right in but i had to def trim the shroud a bit to clear the blower pulley on the crank. That one clears teh ac lines very nicely too. Good Luck

ac lines

The A/c lines are my problem, they are the only restriction on width, I cant find a way to get them out of the way.........frustrating.........I can get it in but not tight up against the front of the engine bay, i cant really get it past were the outside edges of the fan is/would be..

I used a rubber hammer... Problem solved... Hehehehe

And I had to cut the rubber bushings for the radiator hold down clamps as well, so the radiator width could be accomodated.
