Default ac condenser
What is the easiest way to remove the ac condenser? Also, when the compressor is removed, will a shorter belt going straight from the PS pump to the tensioner clear the water pump pulley? Thanks in advance

Im pretty sure you need to take off the front bumper.

By the way are you selling your A/C System?

dont forget to recover the refrigerant, if you get caught letting any cfc, hcfc, or hfc's you will get a $27,500 fine and will go to federal court.

Ive already taken care of that, the system has no r12 or oil left in it, i just want to delete it all together. Do you think its possible to get at it by removing fan, shroud and radiator?

u know Im not positive. If I recall right its bolted on from the front and might be a PITA if u try to remove it from the inside. I could be wrong.

What condition is the condenser in?????

Well, it doesnt leak and it isnt rusted out, but it is the original and has taken 18 years worth of road debris so the fins are a little outta shape and whatnot

too complicated to learn how to recover just for your car :-D take it somewhere if you need to get it recovered.
