I'm finishing up my bodywork and been trying to figure out what needs to be done to the engine compartment to fit the radiator to the RH side. I'm going to use a ProMotive kit, I contacted them and they were nice enough to send me the installation instructions...no where in them does it say anything about cutting a hole or anything to allow air to flow thru it. I emailed them but never heard back so what have you guys with ProMotive kits done to the RH side where the radiator mounts? I'm probably going to do this(Cad13's post):

Looks like he fitted a LH panel to the right side. Common sense that a rad needs air flow...I don't understand why they don't say anything in the instructions

yes....i just saw that...i guess that's what they want you to, blow a hole in the side and bolt that panel in.

oops!!! I just checked my email and found a reply from them in the spam folder...what they said:
"Put a vent panel in the inner wing to accommodate the radiator being moved to the opposite side."...so that makes sense now along with that vent panel

My bad, i'm and idiot, I'll start hacking a hole
