Can I run a combination cooler in a car with air conditioning?? If anyone is, what brand are you running?

If you mean by "combination cooler" a tranny cooler or oil cooler or coolant cooler or some sort of radiator-like cooler in front... then the answer is "yes". Pick your brand.

I know that theoretically there is no reason why I can't, but what I want to know is where the hell to mount it. And it's a oil/tranny fluid cooler that I'm talking about. I was thinking of putting it infront of the condenser, but then the radiator will get less air I think.

I would suggest you use some sort of 1/2"=1" spacers to keep it a bit aways from the condenser and you'll be golden. The main thing you need to watch out for is those little cross bars... If you yank the AC, you'll have plenty of space

buy the combo cooler with a pusher type fan on it. i've never really tried or looked but i ithnk you could mount it behind the fan, between the fan and ater pump, you'd just have to make the mounting hardwear solid so it didn't get chewed up on anything.
