condenser touches rear of ZF- should it?

First, this souldn't be possible 'cause the fins should not be exposed. On all Panteras, there was a sheet metal shroud completely covering the condenser, that also mounted an electric fan. So I'm not real sure you have a stock condenser. Second, the condenser shroud cleared the ZF by over 2"; Lloyd Butfoy's 6-speed adaption to the ZF increases the transaxle length by 2-1/2" and requires the AC shroud assembly to have a slight dent but never touches the actual fins. So I suspect that either you have a huge non-stock condenser or someone has seriously messed with this car. Need photos to clarify or a knowlegable expert to actually SEE the machine.

After taking your insight on this, I took a closer look at the whole thing and lined everything up. And yes, it appears that someone tried to save a buck and cram an oversized aftermarket condenser in that area. Can't say that I blame them, but I'm just going to order a 4-row and do this thing right. Thanks!!

Actually, the "aftermarket" condenser- thing isn't a real bad idea, except that the human-space inside the Pantera is pretty small. So an oversized condenser isn't called for. My Pantera came with no AC at all, so I found a Toyota pickup condenser that is the same dimiensions as the stock unit except it is aluminum, 2-pass, 1/4 the wt of stock, fits Pantera hoses and works just fine. I've had it in back for years, and currently in front. Mini-pickups are about the same cabin-volume as sports cars (maybe a little bigger).
