Re: 91 firebird build
Looks good! Very purdy.
Just 2 things tho...
1.) can't see in the pics but I hope you didn't fill the whole PHB support all the way down by where the 2 meet. As the PHB will literally push itself into the empty cavity in the upper bar.
2.) coil overs on the front you won't get the drop your probably thinking but ur going to prob want to support the strut tower with a STB at least. Coil overs on the rear ur going to need to weld the upper support plates to the inside frame bucket so be ready to strip the truck bed coating off and weld and paint again. Also u might want to fab up a lowering mounting the rear end side for the PHB mount. As soon as u lower it it's going to screw up the PHB angle and ur going to want to correct it.

Man, you're going all out with the paint. It will certainly look amazing when you're done.

To nice for me!!!! looks great tho!!!
Only thing I could see that may need a change is the single fan. Swap it to factory dual fans.

Re: 91 firebird build
stick to a single crossflow design, dual 1” cores and a good dual fan puller with a shroud that covers 90% of the core and ur golden. High pressure flaps are prob a good idea but not necessary. I’ve run them and haven’t and don’t see much high speed cooking differences. I’m a big fan of OE style fans as they are usually much better besides Spal and the new derale stuff. Plus the OE stuff is much cheaper and usually have a integrated plastic shroud. I use Chevy traverse fans on my 27.5” core Afco rad and they cost me like $100 new. Putting a double bypass will hurt flow and cooling.
