ok so im tearing my supra apart(see other posts). while im at it i wanna pull out the ac as well. But after looking at the condenser its so beat up with big dents and stuff from rocks hitting it. im wondering with out the condenser in the way will the radiator be more vulnerable to rocks? the condenser is almost a protector at this point for the radiator it seems.

is there any risk with the radiator totally exposed or is there a better way to protect it from rocks, or is it just a non issue. just seems like with out the condenser in the way alot more air would flow to the radiator.

No risk at all...I have run most of my supras without the condensor...never ever have i had a problem with it. AND if it bothers u...go 2 a junk yard, get some electric fans, release some crank HP, AND have a "radiator protector

i was reading about the electric fan setup, some people said it wasnt good in very hot areas, i live in AZ and see well over a 100 for most of the year lol. i was worried the electric fans might not be able to keep up with that kind of heat....
