    Is the AC condenser (and fan) removed?

        Check out how BMW did it on the Ti. It can be fitted into the e30. Good luck.

          I've heard of people using a Volvo fan. Apparently you just have to trim it slightly to fit.

            They run volvo fans as pullers.. I'm looking to just run a pusher fan by it self.

              From what I understand, they're mounted like puller fans but act like pusher fans. People are using them by themselves to replace both the stock fan and ac fan

                This seems to be the popular one to run: http://store.garagistic.com/spal-16%...r-fan-30101517

                I'm going to have it mounted up on a M40 here soon (hopefully).
