If thats the case will i get away with just removing one of the fans

oh an im asuming that removal of the radiator even though it has the aircon is still just undo the two pipes drain and undo the too top bolts and lift out ??

cheers guys

if its a secondhand rad and has the twin fans, you could remove it or if you look the wiring is there for the second fan, why not plug it in if you get one with the rad
