Dave, All De Lorean fan's have a shroud. You can't have fans without it. You said it, old hoses and that's why they blew. Also, the pop off valve is old and not working also.

Now that you mentioned that you are using John's fans and are moving less air AND you also mention you don't have the shroud it all fits togther into a bigger picture. By having less air move through the radiator AND the condenser coil you will run the engine at higher temps and also the A/C. In the A/C system higher temps translate directly into higher pressures. Higher pressures are harder on the whole system especially the old hoses. If the pressures get too high there is a relief valve but it is over by the accumulater by the front right wheel. Obviously the hose (or whatever blew) couldn't take it and popped before the relief valve could. I strongly recomend you get Yahoo!
