im glad you are going for the manual fan. definately the right choice for your state. i just wish we were all so luck as the guy with the suburban and could have that fancy horton clutch for the fan. i used the dodge radiator and that saved me a little forward room as it is a little thinner and i pushed it back into the support a little more than the stock 4 row. looking forward to what the guys do for the I/C as well.
i am curious about the other side of the engine as well. it looks like the ac compressor was gone but i cant tell. any plans for that? i *may have no current use for my water inlet bracket, but i havent decided yet. i can get you the PN if you need it. mosesburb used the same one as well

Ryan,
We're looking into the AC situation right now. With where the motor's mounted, and the AC unit currently on the top left of the engine, it looks like there is a worry about the hood being able to clear the top.
I did note on that really intelligent suburban guy's build that he mounted his on the water inlet, leveraging some Kenworth and Sterling components. I've also seen the following site (
http://www.cumminsdieselrepowers.com..._Brackets.html) which may provide an alternative solution. If I go with the second solution, I could potentially use the AC compressor that came with my Vintage Air system.
Not sure which direction we're going yet, still working through the details.
