I like that location alot, but you gotta move the A/c condensor and move the radiator. I don't think you can pull that off without e-fans easily and the intake pipes hitting the fan shroud. I also don't like the idea of the radiator being blocked off like that, but the fmic sure is in a decent location for cooling.
The lower valence does look like it can get blocked off my the smaller opening, but it has been proved to be very suffiecient... 62* intake temps on the freeway on 8psi

Well I have a FMIC that cover the radiator completely and that blower that produces an *** load of heat and my motor is staying cool and thats with a TH400 so it cruises around at 2200+ RPMs. So it wont be a problem I dont believe. Have you seen my FMIC??? If not I will get some pics for you to get an idea. Its not hard or anything. I didnt even move the radiator back, but I dont have the condensor anymore since I dont have A/C. My tranny cooler is behind the bumper where the stock ATI intercooler would be. It works, but not very good so I would not recomend it unless you have no other options like me.
