swapping a cam

When swapping a cam do you need to pull the engine or is there enough clearance if you remove the radiator? Thanks

I think it depends on whether you have factory ac. I was told that with ac, not enough room to get cam out without pulling engine or ac condenser and radiator.

Thanks guys, I do have the factory AC, that doesn't work I was going to pull the condenser anyway to make room for the vintage air condenser - well that is when I can get to that.

There is enough room even with AC. Remove the radiator and push the AC condenser towards the front of the car and to the right. Then you'll have plenty of room.
