Yeah the kit uses dual Spal pushers. You can some some anti-freeze with the water system during winter.

No, you keep the rear fans.

Re: How many PTK owner do we have in this site??

Just a thought...
I dont think I will be able to keep both stock fans at all.. Lets say I managed to keep the passenger side fan. Than I slapped a pair of pushers on the front of the A/C Condenser. If the fans each had the same CFM, that would probably create problems - but they dont - and wouldnt that create even more problems? You'll have the pusher trying to shove more air through there then the puller can flow. I dont know the numbers or why- but it sounds like a generally bad idea (and un-necessary).

Jose- I noticed your heat exchanger-like you mentioned, it's nice and big. I looked online and actually found a few others with both more rows and longer rows (I'd personally assume longer rows, as I bet more rows would end up seeing less flow at the lower ones...) But I was considering this as a possible increase to cooling, but more for the fact that it would increase the volume of the system by a small amount - and I'd rather add more if I can. What are your thoughts? Also, do you have the twin pushers mounted to the A/C condenser AND a fan on the heat exchanger?

Re: How many PTK owner do we have in this site??

My PTK Hot parts arrived yesterday. I threw them on the old long block to check for fit - only problems are that the V Clamps are the right sizes for the Xover pipe, and the downpipe flange isnt the right size (Jose, I'll give you a buzz a little later about this) because I got a large frame turbo instead of the normal T-70 or T-76... Anyway, the welds are great, bends and transitions are all very clean, smooth, and well done. They look killer, espicially compared to log manifolds! Aside from needing a different size clamps and the downpipe needing a touch, I'm happy. I honestly cant complain considering every bolt bent right where it had to go, nothing had to be tweaked, and it all looks to be fine. I'm not worried about plug access - but I am concerned about making sure the bolts mount these things to the heads - the flanges are very thick, and right in front the farthest bolt looks like it'll be tough - but I figured out a trick on it already.

Now I just need my engine!

Awesome deal.....give me a buzz, I will get the right flange to you. The trick to the first bolt on the driver side is taking off the coil. Its pretty simple once you move the coil out of the way.
