condensor distance to radiator?

They don't somehow magically "remove heat." The condenser gives up heat into the airflow, which immediately enters the car radiator!!!!

If they were too far apart, I'd be concerned that enough air is bypassing the condenser to raise head pressure on the A/C

Lol, I couldn't remember the spelling for the word DISSIPATE when I posted so I used a common word that anyone should be able to understand.

"Most I recall have been about an inch. Logically since they both are designed to" DISSIPATE "heat that is where I would probably want mine."

Now I googled the spelling and have the correct terminology for you.
