Heads-up:

You might want to reconsider mounting the unit in the area in front of the rear wheel instead. Heat is conducted three ways, conduction, convection, and radiation. While you should be drawing reasonably cool air for convection and you aren't touching the hot exhaust for conduction, you might have a real problem with radiation. Just having very hot exhaust that close to a black (highly accepting of radiative heat transfer) heat exchanger, you might find that the condenser gets warmer than ambient, even with the fan on. I think you'd get better performance in front of the rear wheel in my "engineering judgement". Or, I could be full of B.S.

Good luck.
