I've though about putting an oil cooler where the A/C condenser was

I also thought I saw someone post long ago that they had done this.

So, how about it?  Has anyone done this?

>>>Yeah, it's a pretty common mod on Pantera *RACE* cars.  I suppose it 
works fairly well.  Peter Beckham in particular has a very slick setup 
with giagantic Aeroquip hoses, a polished stainless steel shroud, twin 
remote oil filters mounted on the camber bar, etc. etc.

But tell me, why don't you have the A/C working?  To me, the absolute 
ideal would be to have BOTH systems functional, and there are several 
well-proven avenues which would enable this (moving A/C to the front and 
oil cooler to the back is an expensive proposition although certainly 
effective; the Hall cooler behind the inner fender panel strikes me as a 
perfectly reasonable alternative, even blessed by Mad Dog!)
