DIY Glycol chiller, question on heat exhange

[akpingel]

I am making a DIY chiller with a window unit and cooler. I was looking at the AC coil and thinking about the fins. Seems like they may not be necessary due to the heat exchange is occurring in a liquid state (glycol/water mix) and not with air. So the increased surface area that the fins take up would not be necessary and actually constrict the flow of liquid distribution. Any thermo experts out there have an opinion on cutting the fins off to improve heat exchanging? Picture example in a second.
Thanks,
Alex
