LT5 Cooling and Radiators - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

This was mine when Marc took it out to clean it...

Debris screen I made out of a $2.50 aluminum Gutter screen from Lowes...

My car would almost peg the gauge sitting at idle before I had Marc clean the radiator out and put his chip in that turns both fans on at 200 degrees. Now it hardly gets to 200. The only problem I still have related to that - is that the A/C blows hot at idle and really messes with idle speed when compressor kicks on. I had it switched to R-134 by a Chevy dealer - could they have missed something they needed to change as well??
