Dan@Rapid-Ford glad you understand it

Mike Rainbird is also right in a way. on both cosworth variants AFAIK, the condenser is a similar height to the radiator and does not go in front of the intercooler (that is above both)

if you fit the condenser in front of an intercooler, depending on how hard the a/c system is working, the air going on to it could be significantly hotter than ambient which will obviously reduce it's efficiency (maybe back to the point of the original combined i/c and water cooled charge cooler on a LT escos )

depending on which is your priority, a/c performance and durability, or intercooler/engine performance you have to decide which goes in front of the other. better is to them as ford did, one on top of the other, but then we're back where we started
