Default condenser removal

Tomorrow morning I am going to remove my condenser (if it doesn't rain) I took a look at it this afternoon and I removed the one line on the lower passenger side.
I see two brackets and the bolts that run through the radiator support holding the condenser to it. Is there anything else to remove because I did not see anything else at the bottom. I looked at the AIM for my model year and it does not have an good drawing of the condenser and what is attached to it. The service manual does not provide any info either. It seems straight forward but I really need to be sure. Vehicle is a 79.

Hey Oldguard,

The only thing holding it is the four bolts to the core support and the two line fittings. Remove these and you should be able to get this out with out any problems.
