The aircon rad and fans restrict airflow to the main rad, which is why omega v6's run so hot all the time, Removing the aircon rad and fans is one of the best mods you can do, Engine temps are perfect after this and run nice and cool.

Mines been done for a couple years too, along with my brothers, dads and everyone else i know with omega's have done the same.

Keep them off and youll see for yourself 

Well i never      im going to rip them out now , i had to make a make shift bar to hold the air con rad fans hold up as the rubber grometts were shot . I did wonder why these 2 fans were needed without my air condenser  aid cooling it will ...nice to know you have done this mod and passed on the info 

Lol no worries mate, sorry you had to make a bar etc to hold them in for no reason 

Least you know now though, Have you removed the aircon pump too? If not,.. Remove it and fit a cavalier v6 aux belt from a non aircon model, means its one less pump/pulley the engine has to turn

Air condenser is in the bin , all fell to bits at the bottom ...never used air con even when i had it . Get enough draft from the missus

or you can just buy a belt for non-aircon

Nice one, your sorted then 

lol @ the missus 

[omega3000]

I will be when i dump the fans , easy enough to take out as the lack of condenser makes easy access . That just leaves that humungous air breather for the air box that needs re routing at some point ...Anyone moved this ?

The air intake in the grill? Ive kept mine and added a second air feed cut into the bottom of the airbox. best option!

Yea ive heard of that mod , are you running standard air filter in the air box or K&N/ aftermarket 

[X3 OXE]

Standard air filter changed on a regular basis, normally no different to a K&N as long as the standard is always new/clean.

The second air feed ive done is 3" all the way to the front grill next to the standard intake, noticed quite a nice little gain just from this, More responsive. Can get some pics at weekend if wanted
