Space between intercooler/AC condenser/radiator
Should there be space between these items or should they be sandwiched together?
If space, will airflow choose the path of least resistance and not reach the radiator?
If sandwiched, will airflow be so restricted little air gets to the radiator?
Thanks.

I have about 3" between my intercooler and ac condenser...
the ac condenser and radiator are extreemly close together.
I have a large rad with shrouding and slim fans and a coolant re-route.
No cooling problems yet.
More space would be better for cooling. and air does pick the path of less resistance so more fresh air could get to your radiator if there was more room in between, especially if you added ducting underneath.
my 2 cents
