AC condensor replacement. easy or not?
Well, as it says in the title, I have to replace my condensor. I was installing my Vararam intake and when I was done I could not believe that I did it with no issues, so I took my razor knife and stabbed it. 
How would you guys rank the job? PIA, easy, middle of the road? Any tips from anyone that has done it in the past?
I said I would replace it during the winter and here it is Febuary, and it is not done yet. Summer will be here soon!

It should be very easy. Undo the hard lines and slide it vertically up off of the brackets that it rests on. It isn't bad or at least it wasn't hard for me to remove. You will see what I am talking about when you start to remove it

Removing the condensor is just a start.
When it's time to install the new system you need specific A/C tools. You need to vacuum out all the old refrigerant and oil and charge the new system with a specific amount of new refrigerant and oil. Not a job for the backyard mechanic.
