February 7, 200521 yr Will a radiator out of an 84 GL no A/C work in an 83 DL with A/C? Aside from the two fans I mean. Is there any internal differences about the radiator with A/C?
February 7, 200521 yr Author Come on you guys. A friend of mine is telling me these radiators are somehow different even though they look identical. He doesn't know soobs though. He got this idea somewhere that radiators off of A/C cars are double or something. My dl with ac radiator has two fans, other than that it looks the same.

February 7, 200521 yr If they look the same then they most likely are. Make sure they have the same amount of cooling passages.
February 7, 200521 yr I'm not sure about the EA81 cars but I know that all the EA82 cars have a single core radiator with plastic side tanks, except the turbo cars with the auto trans, which have the all brass two core. There are slight differences but both fit. Gary

No difference for AC cars 83-84 Some difference for auto/MT(tranny cooler?) Minor(?)difference for FWD MT and 4WD MT cars

According to my radiator guy, there is very little difference in Subaru radiators... most of the differences are in the bottom mounting pegs and top mounting holes.
