I think that you may mean heater cores, which would have a larger water
passage, but I am hoping for a look if I go to SnF this year.
No, I'm pretty sure they were AC condensors.

The layout that you mention is very similar to one that I have seen used
successfully on a Subaru conversion in a KR2--although I don't know who
may have done it first.
Tricky seems to be an understatement, especially when using airports that
demand an estended ground run!
I have never understood why a person would not include an electric fan to
pull air through the radiator, when necessary ground runs do not provide
enough air flow.

That would be 5 pounds well spent, I would think. *I will include one if
my installation ever takes place, unless someone could come up with a
reason not to include it.

I have wondered about the exact same thing, and am leaning toward the same
solution.

I would guess because the fan is a liability to flow at speeds over
thirty or forty mph and because a twelve inch 1/8 hp fan has little to
offer over a 54 inch 40hp fan.

That would be my guess, and next I would wonder why people don't
install louvers controlled from inside the cabin to let the heat just
rise out of the engine compartment. I think some military planes of
WWII era had them.
