Here are pictures of my serp set up, I like the way it fits, its compact and clean. I can be pricey to complete the installation but its definitely worth it.

Pros
1. PS pump, this pump was used on most Ford Vehicles from the contour to the Full Size Bronco and F-150 so they are plentiful in salvage yards.

2. Its very compact, I installed the serp and the stock size aluminum radiator w/ a large electric cooling fan (http://summitracing.com/parts/MRG-1988/) and still had about 1" of clearance between the water pump and the fan motor.

3. Water pump is a high flow pump and they're relatively inexpensive.

Cons

1. 94/95 Mustang serp is very specific as to what parts as (w/ exception to the accessories themselves as they were popular among 90's Ford Vehicles) you can and cant use. Basically if it came off of the mustang you need it. Its hard to find some of the parts for a reasonable price like some of the pulleys are expensive, the tensioner is pretty hard to find and they're not real cheap if you do find one.

2. If you keep the stock radiator, you're going to need to get a 1968 GTO upper hose, and make something of your own for the lower hose.

Other than that, its pretty straight forward. Nice clean install and it looks nice. It hides the ugly A/C pump near the frame rail. I opted to go with a smog pump delete kit since Im not running smog equipment. Let me know if you have questions

Heres the pictures

Excellent info. thanks. Now lets talk about that alternator... Just kidding. Thanks for posting up the info especially showing the clearance. that's a pretty compact setup, like we were talking about. More radiator clearance than I thought even.
Did you mention somewhere what fan that was?

Thanks

Paul
