I recently (like lunchtime today) acquired among other things a
radiator/fan/shroud/AC condenser "assembly" from good old Unca Joel.
Thanks, Joel! My question is, is this the one I want for installing in
my 83 diesel (when I get my turbo back in) for the Behr AC setup? I
think it is an 86. It has the metal fan shroud and what looks to be
the same temp switch for the fan as is on my 90. Just wondering.

Also, I have the Behr condensor (I need to spend about a week on it
with a fin straightener) which I have heard is more efficient than the
stock vanagon unit. Is this so? In light of the fact than the ones
made now (I saw the ackit.com thread a few days ago) should I consider
chucking them both for an newer model?

Thanks,

Jim
