Easiest way to remove AC condenser?

[The_Ghost]

What is the easiest way for me to pull the AC condenser out of the car?
I have to unbolt the radiator, IC and then also uncouple the condenser connections-- am I missing anything?
Any tips on pulling the thing?
Thanks,
Ghost

We pulled the condensor out of my buddy's 90 SC a while back. I dont remember exactly, but I believe we just tilted the radiator back and pulled the condensor out .. it might have been tight where the lines come out, but after we cleared those it was fine. He doesnt have an IC Shroud, and we didnt pull the IC off .. so you may be able to do it if you remove the shroud.

Zap the lines with a sawzall then pull it outta there.

Unfortunately I'm out of C-4.

I'd like to avoid buying new coolant if at all possible, since I just changed it and put good stuff in.

It takes about 15 minutes if you do what Dan said.
