dewitts radiator for 2007 LS7 install ?
good day all,
I am in the process of installing a Dewitts Radiator, or so I thought, lol. anyway I got stuck trying to remove the stock radiator from the car. The area I am having trouble is on the passenger side of the radiator and the air conditioner condenser. I cannot remove the condenser from the radiator, driver side lifts out of the tabs easily, not so on the passenger side, is this something I am missing or is there a trick.
All help is greatly appreciated.

There is a tab on the front side of the left radiator tank and another tab on the right radiator tank. The condenser slips onto the tabs. The tab on the left tank does not need to be trimmed. Your not removing all of the tap on the right side, just trimming it enough to get the condenser off the old radiator and if you have to trim it on the new radiator, then trim just enough to get the condenser on.

Thank you everyone for the information. I will start again next Saturday. I will trim the tabs and should be good to go. Car is a daily driver, so next weekend it will be, or Friday after work, with beer breaks as needed.
