Thumbs up

I cannot see why it will not work with manual trans cars. For example the BMW kit fits both auto and manual cars... how do I know? I have one on each now.

Right, your car with factory AC came with a radiator sized to handle the load. A base car with no factory AC might have a smaller rad. I'd need to check the EPC to confirm.

I was just saying that it does not have the problem of the oil cooler lines ( or auto trans cooler lines either ) sticking out to the rear on the same side of the engine compartment the AC compressor is on...
