How do you remove the condensor

Now that I've removed the evaporator, thanks to your help.
I would like the same step by step instructions for removing the condenser.
I've removed all the AC parts with exception of the compressor which is new and I want to leave in and condenser. Thanks for any help.
Andy

Re: How do you remove the condensor

super easy-much easier than removing the evaporator-just disconnect the refrigerant lines,remove the upper rediator support or upper fan shroud half,lean radiator back a little and withdraw condenser

Do I need to remove the entire fan shroud. I unbolted the 4 bolts to the shroud that is on top of the radiator pushed the radiator as far forward as I dared and wasn't nearly enough room to lift the condenser out. the condenser has no fasteners except the shroud that keeps it in front of the radiator correct.
