The condenser is mounted to the radiator. There are 4 clips that the condenser slips into on the radiator. Also, there are 2 connections that need to be disconnected. They are 13mm bolts. I find it easier to remove the radiator and condenser at the same time. They can be difficult to separate while in the vehicle.

GM condenser is pricey
I chose to go aftermarket, it didnt exactly line up with the clips, so I had to use vice grips to bend them, I replaced with radiator still in car. didnt have much room cause of intercooler and supercharger. Had friend vacuum and recharge, specs are on forum here, just use search function
