[Amc-list] 65 American AC Condensor question

["Gary L. Kirk" <glkirkbuilders@xxxxxxx>]

Hi, I installed an AC condenser (Supposedly out of a later yr American) in my car by heating and bending around the encroaching metal from the upright support that holds the hood latch and spacing the radiator about 5/8" closer to fan. I merely used rubber striping around perimeter to wedge/secure.
I did this to experiment weather it is going to overheat. It runs just a little past half way now , whereas it used to be only a bit off peg/cold.
The weather here is mid 70-low 80 lately. I worry weather it will overheat when it gets hotter and has an AC compressor load on it. It seems to run hotter as I'm traveling down road and a bit cooler an lower speeds.
Anyone have any thoughts? Should I consider a shroud of some kind?
Thanks, Gary Kirk
