I'm trying to install my fan shroud and its hitting this canister that looks like its part of my a/c system. yes I have a/c with an SR.

its an s14 with s13 sr motor.

If you want to keep your A/C then your only option is to go with Electric Fans, which i'm not a huge fan off. I personally use the SR shroud along with a NISMO T-Stat, and temp never goes above 70 Degree Celcius. Also ripped out the A/C I live in Calgary its not hot all year round maybe for 5 months... Anyways, back on topic check out the FSM and see where they've mounted that little tank. Good luck.

You can drill a new hole for the bracket an inch or so back and bend the lines slightly. I had to do that on one of my customer's cars with a koyo rad and flex a lite dual 12" fans when I installed the fans.

i might take the a/c out.. only reason it has it is because the car came from arizona and my buddy wanted it cause its so hot there.. but i have yet to use it once in over a year.

you could cut a piece from your radiator shroud to clear ac.. thats what i did and worked perfect!
