78 A/C Condensor removal Question
Hello there, Looking for a little help on this one. The a/c has not worked for years and up here in New England it is not a priority item so I was thinking of removing the condensor to get more air flow to the radiator in the summer. Before I start unbolting stuff that does not need unbolting, can I sneak this out without removing the radiator? Any tips on what to do or not do?
Thanks in advance

I believe you can do it by first removing the hood and then the condensor to radiator support screws. However, I'm not sure your car would run any cooler and not sure about securing the radiator without the condensor. Besides, if all cooling componets are working properly, you shouldn't have an overheating problem. I live in Florida and have never had an overheating problem, even in mid summer with the a/c on full blast. If it's running hot, fixing the problem would be my suggestion. Good luck!
