Default How to remove air con rad without coolant rad removal?

Can the above be done? I dont want to be messing about with the coolant if I dont have to.

don't think it will come out without removing the coolant rad.. not tried admittedly.. you might be able to remove the rad top brackets and tilt the rad back enough to pull the air con rad out though.

Ok, sorted it tonight.

The rad can be pushed back enough to remove the air con rad without disconnecting the coolant pipes. Just need to remove all the gubbins that holds in the coolant rad and power steering cooling pipes.

Problem now is that the air con rad I have as a replacement has the wrong size connection ports!!
