AC Condenser delete radiator support ?
For now, I am going to remove my 87's AC condenser. I am concerned that the condenser and the radiator brace each other and deleting the condenser would need some form of additional support for the radiator. Have you done a condenser delete.

They don't touch. They are supported by the base and top moulded rubber supports in the corners and their individual hoses keep them from wiggling around to a very small extent. Many of us run with no condenser chasing cooling issues

I didn't. The AC system leaked so bad since I got it 24 years ago that it would be empty the next day despite all the techs and shops claiming there were no leaks found. Then dad snapped off the sensor on the dual hose at the compressor one day when he leaned against it when I was replacing the alternator and I had even less willingness to sink money into working on a leaking system. So when I pulled the condenser about 10 years later chasing high temps it was like big whoop. Maybe one day I'll replace the entire system and have cold air, but I've always driven with the top off when it's over 60⁰.
