Manual AC vs non AC radiator

Hi,

What is the difference between non a/c radiator and a/c radiator?

I have a manual A/C in mine.

There is a difference in radiators? News to me.

The only difference in factory radiators would be auto vs manual transmission. Auto trans radiators have a built in transmission cooler, manual do not.

Bottom one is possibly for a 300D, top one is for a 240D.

For the record, the 240D radiator on top works with A/C. I had my A/C working before my timing chain skipped and it kept the engine nice and cool at idle in 90° F outside temperature.

Probably not enough cooling capacity for a 300D, but I don't know for sure.

I currently have the top one in my 300D. I was wondering if the A/C condensor will fit?

Yes, both radiators mount the same way. A/C condenser will fit in front of either.
