There is virtually no consideration to fixing it later without access to a very complete shop.
The condenser, radiator and fan assembly are supposed to come out as a single unit.
Except... The shade-tree mechanic doesn't have the expensive AC refrigerant recovery system so the condenser needs to remain in the car.
Then all of the hoses are retained by the bane of my mechanic existence, spring clamps.
Then, there's the hard to reach wiring harness retainers which you cannot free.
Plus the special tool needed to detach the transmission cooler lines from the radiator.
Nevertheless, I have persevered!
There was a whole forest of leaves between the condenser and radiator, and the fan appears to have sucked on the condenser so hard as to have bowed it in.
I'm going to be doing some foliage removal tomorrow before I even consider putting the new radiator in.
