Wizard Radiator Install
I'm trying to install a Wizard radiator, which is suppose to be a direct bolt in and it is contacting the ac condenser, preventing installation. The condenser is installed correctly and fits the upper and lower rubber insulators correctly (lower is shared with the radiator). I've emailed Wizard for help regarding the radiator.
What I'm curious about here is if it is an aftermarket replacement condenser, might it be thicker than stock? It doesn't seen like it is, judging by the length of the groove in the rubber insulators but maybe that's not a good indication. No problem with the fit along with the stock replacement radiators
I've owned the car 20 years and the condenser has not been replaced in that time but who knows before that. It's an '88 Firebird Formula.

Re: Wizard Radiator Install
Well, it didn't fit so I had to return it. No bs with the return. They sent a return label and refunded the entire purchase amount, including the shipping. Kudos to them for that.
So it seems that it does not fit AC equipped cars. I sent some dimensions using the stock replacement radiator as reference so maybe the design can be modified so that it does fit in the future.
