Difference in Radiators??

[88LXi68]

Is there a difference in radiators for Accords with A/C and Accords without A/C or are the fans just different?

i have never seen accord without AC.
i don't think there would be much diff.
i think it is all about the fans.

The automatic models have 2 extra lines on the bottom that cool the transmission fluid. The 5 speed models do not have this. You can use an automatic tranny radiator on a 5 speed, just cap off the extra lines. But you should not use a 5speed radiator with an automatic unless you run an external tranny cooler. I hope this answers your question.

[shepherd79]

actually, auto and 5 speed share the same radiator.
if you have auto than you have to connect the trans fluid lines. if you have 5 speed, just leave them alone.

Ahh, I misread the question.
I have never seen accord without AC, except when I removed mine. If you are looking to swap there should not be any problems.

Yea I knew about the tranny cooler lines. I was just curious about the non A/C vs A/C cause I have never seend a non A/C Accord, but I know they exist

I think I saw one in a salvage yard once, at least the control panel looked like it didn't have a/c, but the radiator was gone out of it
