it would really only help if your CONDENSOR was clogged or damaged.

well when people say a/c delete, they also take that condensor out as part of it.
But w/o that condenser in front of the the rad. The car would have to run run cooler

Awesome. I need to remove mine then, after I already did the A/C removal, but do you have to drain the radiator and all that crap just to get to the condensor? I was reading my Haynes and all it said was to unbolt the top radiatior bracket and carefully tilt the radiator back towards the front of the engine and pull out the condensor. Does this seem feasible with the amount of roon there is between the engine and radiator, or do I have to go through the pain of pulling the radiator temporarily? Any thoughts or help would be great. I live in an apartment complex and they're **** about if you're working on your car and you spill any fluids on their property, so hopefully it can be done without draining it. Thanks

well seeing as i just installed an A/C condenser on my car w/o having to drain a single drop of coolant, u should be able to do the opposite as well. just move the radiator to the front after unbolting it from the top. it will be kinda tight of course but possible.

I just got done pulling the AC condensor out. It wasn't as bad as I thought. No marks on the radiator at all. I wonder if I can get some $$ for the condensor at a scrap yard. I hope now rushing air coming in will cool the radiator better than before. I noticed when I took out the condensor, the front of the radiator is alittle grody from various road crap getting sucked in by the fans...is it ok to spray it off at a self carwash?
