    I need to replace an ac condenser in a 2004 grand prix. Is it possible to remove the ac condenser by just moving the radiator forward and sliding the old condenser up and out? Thank you.

    Maybe, even with the fans removed it's a really tight squeeze.

    i've done it on a 98, if you disconnect the top radiator tube and remove the fans you can push the radiator enough to slide the condenser out. Be careful not to bust up the fins or your knuckles

    Thank everyone for their help. One more question, I see one ac line is held on by a nut, but is the other one a quick disconnect type of fitting? Thanks again
