Bypassing the A/C on my 392 trying to trick my radiator fans to turn on at lower temps

Yes, I'm perfectly aware that getting a custom tune would allow me to set the temp at which the radiator fans kick on. But what if a custom tune isn't an option? And why do we want to turn them on at a lower temp? Well, if you have a lower temp thermostat installed, you know exactly why. In part 1 of this quest, I try to take advantage of the fact that having the A/C system on forces the fans to turn on in order to get air flow through the condenser. Why bypass it? That's because when you're on a dragstrip, having the a/c on in your car is a big no-no. Last thing the track wants is for a street car to be dripping condensation onto the track where traction is of the upmost importance.
