Those 2 little fans are the cooling fans for the a/c condenser. They help cool the freon, which helps your a/c blow colder.

to be honest i think cuel is the only right one here... cuz really doesnt kick on at any random temp of my car... but when i had it running and turned the a/c on... it came on in less than a minute... and i barely use a/c... but if i took them off do you think a/c would still work? just not as good prolly...

for one you can't cool refrigerent(other know as freon) you extract the heat from the freon.

also as i said "I Think" not saying it will! (on the temp. subject)

anywho YES the a/c will work b/c its not dependent on those fans. Those fans are a precautionary thing so the engine will not over heat b/c of the a/c load.

lol. Try the fans off of a 98 Contour. Has a low speed resistor that you can use on a temp. switch for the motor, and full speed that you can hook up to the a/c high pressure switch(which is what the 2 little fans are hooked up to). They have they're own shroud, which covers over 95% of the radiator. Takes a little modding, but its pretty easy. Make sure you get the harness for the fans when you get them, and seal the shroud to the radiator.
