Situation: LS3 with Whipple and AC, in Atlanta heat and traffic.

I installed an Entropy heavy duty radiator with the 5600cfm mega fans. Fit almost perfect. I have an AFCO ZL1 heat exchanger with dual fans which will fit nicely in front of the Entropy after I make some mounting brackets.

Now the hard part. I have a Vintage Air 14x24 condenser that came with the ac kit. I know a smaller condenser will not exchange as much heat, but for small space like a truck cab, will it make a huge difference? Id like to go down to a 12x20 or 12x24 condenser. Its going to be pretty tight behind the grill with the heat exchanger and condenser. Has anyone used a smaller condenser or relocated condenser to different location?
