Correct, but it is doable, I think. The condenser I'm running right now, is an ACDelco unit, but didn't have the proper holes drilled to allow for hanging the oil cooler, so I installed them as 2 separate units. Granted, I still have the condenser in place, but having them mounted together isn't 100% required. The rubber spacers in the top and bottom of the stack, have circular cutouts for the placement of the tips of the end tanks of the oil cooler.

Let me know when you start the project. Now thatI look at it, it may not be necessary to do what I did.

Wow Yun, that a lot of cutting. Yeah, I'm pretty anal about how things look, I may have to do it the hard way. I'll let you know when I start, hopefully it will be later this month.

Is that your radiator, or the lint screen from your dryer?
