The engine cooling system, like much of the stuff you find in an ICE-powered vehicle, is there only to support the operation of the ICE and, therefore, not needed in an electric car. Since the air intake had already been removed, I had easy access to the cooling system components, so I spent part of the afternoon chucking the radiator, fans, coolant tank, hoses, and few brackets out of the engine bay. Even though I was armed with a service manual, I still thought I had to jump through way too many hoops to get it all out. The angle and placement of the radiator required the front sway bar to be dropped in order to allow the radiator to slide out from below the car. Coming from the Honda world, that's a little weird to me.
