That's for the all aluminum. The other one is about $130 which is the
only option that I had available for the 95 Accord at the time.

How'd he deal with the A/C connections?

There are none. I can't quite figure the design out . You can pull
both fans simply by disconnecting the electrical connector to the
fans. I did that about six months ago when I replaced the fans (or
fan motor in the case of the radiator fan) on my '97. The A/C fan was
the easiest to pull because the radiator fan has a high pressure
coolant line and bracket that goes over it and it has to be pushed
(with some difficulty) out of the way.

I guess the extra fan is just to take care of the cooling asociated
with the extra load on the engine from the compressor. It does not
act as any kind of condensor cooler for the high pressure lines. the
only ports in and out are for the A/T fluid lines and I have M/T's on
both of my Hondas so they are not used.

At any rate, I'm going to replace the radiator on the '90 this week
end. Will post a follow up. Will try to take both fans, radiator,
and lower hose in one fell swoop. If that doesn't work I'll let you
know what did work.

Thanks to all for the advice.

You know what?

All this time I was confusing the FAN with the CONDENSER. I thereby led you
astray.

As I MEANT to say earlier, the FANS must stay attached to the rad, but the
CONDENSER must be pushed out of the way.

What caused me to scramble the two up so well I don't know. Many apologies
for that.

No apology necessary. Have gotten more than my share of help from the
site you maintain.
