I was able to fit the large Mishimoto fan in front of the condenser and two small fans on the back side of the radiator

How'd you go from the fuel pump? Running the lines off the fuel pump. Did you drop the tank?

Looks like they might be able to make the tight corners needed?

I saw in another thread you bought the mishimoto radiator, what are you doing for hoses?

Haha, I'm actually working through that now. There will be some modifications on the hoses. I'm also going to be tying the steam vent into the water hose because I'm not tapping the radiator or the water pump. I'm hoping to get the radiator installed with hoses this weekend so I will post pictures with parts when I'm done.

Made some more progress today. My e30 had the airbag column which will not work with the sikky steering shaft kit and z3 rack. Pulled the old column out and replaced it with a non airbag column.
The whole thing had to be attached to the column before the install. There is no room to work in between the headers. After getting column in I mounted the new steering wheel.

Accounted for relieving the area on the firewal
Wasn't aware of these areas in the tunnel that also needed some relieving. Took a few times going up and down but finally got it cut and beat this area up in the tunnel after the transmission fit

Well made a good push in the last two days. Decided to come in from the bottom so we dropped the front end and attached everything.

You managed to sell a m20 and Getrag260 for $1000? Holy cow

Yea I did. I work at a shop that does spec e30s and a customer got everything I pulled out of the car fortunately.
