    a/c radiator removed?

    95 formula
    I have removed the a/c radiator and plumbing and noticed that now thre is nothing to protect the radiator from road debris that might get there from under the car, there is no mesh , nothing
    has anyone had any problems running with no a/c radiator? i am thinking about installing a mesh there or something

    I dont think there will be an issue but If it gives you peace of mind then you can put some Chicken wire or mesh and call it a day. People run cars radiator straight like that all the time.

      There was nothing protecting the a/c condensor, when it was there. Did you worry about it?

        I've got a $550 Griffin aluminum radiator, sittin' all by itself, no condensor, no chicken wire. It's just like new, and its been there for 8.5 years.
