Its fairly simple to remove. Be careful when you undo the coolant pipes as they are quite highly pressurised so when the first pipe you undo comes off it will go with bang. The refigerant is pretty minging stuff and will spray everywhere so be careful with that.
Everything else will just disconnect. If you're willing to part with the aircon rad i'm in the market for one

If you're anywhere near Doncaster I'll even do the job for you in exchange for the rad lol.

The Aircon rad sits in front of the water rad. if you have a look in your engine bay you'll see your radiator has two fans on it. In front of that is a seperate rad which is the aircon rad.
