i am considering buying another corsa, my question is i want 1 with air-con but want to 2ltr it, and was wondering is there anybody out there that still runs air-con wen they have put a xe or a 2ltr ecotec in

I'm not sure if its possible to cram the air con rad in as well as a standard radiator for the engine...but someone should know this

the condensor sits infront of the radiator, so unless the radiator sits further into the engine bay this wont be a problem. my main worry is wether the compressor would fit cuz i can get pipes modified so that aint a problem.
surely someone on here has tryed or no's something

As u may need a front bumper 30ft deep

well my mk3 ibiza cupra has it so i dont really want to loose it, it aint so bad if you never had a/c but once youve had it its hard to live without.
suppose the only other way is a sunroof but they cant compare to a/c

ive looked in to this i recon i could do it but would take time and be very costly you would need a corsa with eps too to retain power steering as ud have no chance with hydraulic pump

power steering? abs? air con?
what are they
pretty sure you could fit air con in? i know the engine bays are pretty packed but there must be room in there somewhere for all the lil bits and bobs.
