Default smaller radiator

im lookin into buying a new radiator since my old one has been sitting for two years and looks like crap, and i deleted my a/c so since i have some space to play with, has anyone tried fitting a smaller radiator for a cleaner look?

Good way to make your car overheat in traffic.

If you get rid of ac does that mean you can remove the front radiator?

What you call the front radiator is the AC condenser, and it serves no purpose if you delete the AC. You can also do away with the evaporator inside the HAVC plenum.

I'll bite

so you want to fashion in a different radiator which means mucking around with different hoses trying to find ones that will reach/fit? And you want to do this for a "cleaner look"?

Lemme see, you can't see the radiator from the outside. When you open the hood, who even looks down at the radiator?
