You have to evacuate any remaining Freon so you don't lose it but then the easiest way is to take the radiator loose and then you can disconnect the condenser and remove it.

Once you have the room, there are just a couple attaching bolts and then two lines.

I attached the instructions and the picture of the condenser to show the location of this.

Please run through this and let me know what you find. Thanks
