Delete oil cooler?

Which airflow are you taking about, the AC condenser air flow? Thanks

The old design condenser was blocking flow to the whole cooling stack. Basically blocking airflow through the condenser itself, the trans cooler and the radiator.

Did one of the original fittings have a little plastic extension on it, that fit inside the casting?

The two on the filter adapter had the plastic quick release connections, so I pulled the clips off, and the washer that’s formed onto the pipe, I cut off with an inch of pipe, with a hacksaw. Reamed it clean, flushed with gas, blew it out with air, slid a flare fittings over the 1/2” pipe ( tube). Removed the stock adapter fitting from the adapter casting, threaded a 3/8” NPT nipple in, and a adapter to that for the female flare fitting in the tube to thread into. I’ll post a picture in a new thread if I can. Had to cut down an open end wrench and grind the end down more narrow to get the female nuts to turn on.

Old design meaning older than 88? I have a 92. Thanks

My OEM 97 condenser vs the replacement I bought in 2021. The new style is a thin parallel flow unit, the OEM was a thick serpentine style.
