The subject says it all folks. I've already started taking apart the car, but not too far along because all the parts are not hear yet. I'm going to pull the heads off to swap them too because one of them is warped. I know the waterpump, opti, timing chain and radiator have to come out. I was wondering if the A/C condenser has to come out? Also, I know I have to jack the motor up for the cam to clear some stuff, but how exactly does it need to be lifted and how much?

Thanks
John

You dont have to remove the condensor,just tilt it out of the way.And no you dont have to lift the motor.Do a search for street illusions racing.They have a great install guide.

What joeSS97 said. Here are a few pics from my cam/heads change out. You can move the cond. out of the way without crimping the lines if you are careful. Also the hood latch needs to be removed to get the cam out. No need to jack the motor.

I did not have to remove the hood latch-just barely enough room. Also, I was able to rest the corner of the condensor on top of the ABS unit-again, just enough room to get the cam by it.

That's cause some peoples cams are longer than others. PUN
