Help removing

[Shaolin Crane]

have you ever built a race car from the ground up? Go look at the new challengers and mustangs running at Pomona today. Most of them were stripped down to the bare basics and were rebuilt.

Nope not once, i have no clue what its like building a car from the ground up

I did this job recently to replace a leaky A/C condenser, so I will chime in...

Remove the stock fan, remove the fan shroud.
Kink the upper radiator hose up out of the way so you can get to the couplers with the funny hat shape coupler tools. Push hard on the coupler tool and pull on the tubing at the same time. You may need a helper at this point.
Once the A/C line are disconnected, remove the upper radiator supports. If you are lucky, the radiator will tilt back towards the engine enough to remove the A/C condenser. If the radiator isn't cooperative to provide enough clearance, then you get to remove it.

Congratulations: you have now spent 30 minutes worth of sweat and skinned knuckles to save 7 pounds...

so how can you give an opinion on something you never ever done, that like asking a virgin for sex advice.

Maybe I work quicker than you but one I looked it was out in ten

(1) Recover refrigerant into an EPA approved recovery cylinder by any method you're most comfortable with.
(2) Remove A/C condenser.
(3) Replace A/C condenser with new or reman unit.
(4) Pressure test with nitrogen to operating pressures for the refrigerant used (R12 or R134a)
(5) Leak test all fittings and hoses with a spray bottle of 10:1 water:dishwashing liquid solution.
(6) Triple evacuate the system.
(7) Recharge, by weight, the new refrigerant charge.
(8) Save yourself regret and a swampy ass and back.

Do you think he can do that if he cant figure out how to remove the condensor on his own? Besides, race cars dont have a/c
