Ok put the radiator back in and things dont fit right. I had to trim the fan on the right to make it fit and then the fan on the left I had to take out because the jpipe ran right into it. I know slim fans might work. But has anyone ever ran just one fan?

Just make sure that the one fan is able to pull as much or more cfm as the stock units together. As long as it's rated as both of the stockers put together, you should have no problems.

Either that or switch manifolds, which I'm sure you don't want to do at this point. Just in case that one does fail on you, Slowboy Racing makes one that's cast iron that I was wanting to put on my car if it ever got that far. It takes all the advantages of the OE type manifolds and puts them together and then some. Check it out if you get a chance, might be worth your while.

not sure what manifold you got... but the tubular header that I got... there was no fitment issues at all... both fans fit perfectly after the install.

I know that this pic doesn;t show it well and the A/C fan is removed at the time of the pic, but the A/C fan did fit fine after the header was installed

It's a Pacesetter. I remember there being a thread when he bought it. Seems that they do a lot better if the Pacesetters are ceramic coated before installation.

roger that good buddy... pacesetter it is and I did have it ceramic coated prior to install and I have had better luck than most seem to. and fitment was flawless.
