I have a Vintage Air A/C system in my Midstates. It is not like riding in a sealed, new car, but the air does an acceptable job of knocking the edge off the heat.

The Vintage Air system really does a good job and is about as good as a modern new car A/C. The top and the leaks are the main reason it doesn't get frigid in the cockpit...

Only real downside is the compressor and hoses clutter the engine bay. Most folks don't notice the condenser and think they're looking at the front of the radiator. BTW, I spin the belt set to 7500 or so and have had no belt problems going around the compressor (at least with A/C off - never tried it while operating the A/C).

I also recall I have a 2-row radiator, but it's a special 2-row (about the thickness of a four row) with very wide rows and narrow-set fins for additional cooling. I think its a Griffin? I hear BeCool makes a very good radiator. My BBC Vette has a Ron Davis radiator (He's in Phoenix) - I think it is a two row, but each row is >1 inch thick and it's huge.

One of the cooling keys is to build a box off the back of the radiator that seals to your fan well and use a good fan. I recommend Spal fans, but do not have one yet on the Cobra. Some of my buddies run only Spal fans on their 900+HP blown BBC motors and I've seen them to be very good air movers.
