Default A/C Condenser help

Good morning everyone,
I have an 85 that I have brought back to life and attempted to charge the A/C and noticed a leak at the condenser. My question is can I replace the condenser without disturbing or removing the radiator? If anyone has tackled this and has some advice, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

I just did my 84 and it was a piece of cake, disconnected the top radiator hose( after draining some fluid ) removed the radiator cover, disconnected the a/c lines and pulled it up, that's it.

Forgot to mention, discharge the a/c system first
