moving radiator back

Hi all,
I noticed there is around 45mm (give or take 5mm) gap between the back of the radiator and the fan and I'm wondering if I can pull back the radiator closer to the fan so I can have some room for intercooler pipes.
Does anyone have ideas what effect that will have on 1) cooling efficiency and 2) whether there will be interference when the fan is spinning at max rev and 3) any other issues?

It's an R32 GTS25 but I suppose the idea is the same for any car in general.
Cheers

Do you have the shroud fitted?

Yes Bob - I still have the shroud in place.

Cheers.
