SWB Oil Cooler Or A/C Condensor?

I have a friend with a 1965 911 that had dealer installed (I think) A/C. All the lines are still there, but missing the compresser and other bits. My question is around what looks to me like a fender mounted oil cooler, but I am sure it is not and must be the A/C condensor, right? I have a couple of photos here that show, as best as I could, the left front fender setup.

The first pic shows the canister that the lines are routed through prior to the condensor. The line that is horizontal comes through the chassis (from the trunk) on the drivers side and attaches to the right connection (as you are viewing it) on the canister. The line on the left side of the canister goes up around the fuel filler and is routed forward into the right side (as you are viewing it) of the condensor in the front of the fender. The line that comes out of the left side of the condensor goes back aft and down the rear of the fender well to the bottom of the chassis and is routed into the rocker. This is the vertical line that you can see in pic 1 that goes from top to bottom. This line then comes out of the rear driver's rocker and is routed up and over the rear wheel and into the engine compartment.

My question is this - is that in fact the A/C condensor in the place of an oil cooler? Sorry, I did not remove the shroud to photograph what is behind it, but I got a look through the horn grill. The condensor/cooler has vertical fins with the hard lines running left and right through them. Sounds like a condensor for the A/C, but I have never seen one mounted there before. Is that what this is?

LOL. Yes Scott, that's an A/C condenser and it's exactly where it's supposed to be. Std issue option on AZ and TX cars!

Yep - I have the exact same setup on my '65; still works!

Thanks guys. I figured as much, but just wanted to confirm. I know Frank - dumb question, but I don't know jack about AC on these cars. Be neat if you could get it working again along with the Webasto heater that is still there.
