Removing radiator

Ok, I'm taking out my radiator, what am I supposed to do with the a/c condenser line? It says I have to take it out, do I just pull it out? Or unscrew the fitting to the radiator? I started to unscrew it slowly because I didn't know what would happen and it started to release pressure and some coolant I guess, so I tightened it back up.

I was able to remove the radiator without bothering the condenser.

if ur talkin about the peice on the radiator that holds the condensor line that im thinkin of in the lower left corner it is a B*tch what i did was bend the line up slowy just enough to get it out by slidin the right side up and out first so the radiator comes out it, isnt very fun but it dose eventually come out....it took me for ever to get mine out....and even LONGER to put it back it

and i noticed u live in lancaster pa i live right on the other side of York in Glen Rock if u no where thats at

Hey, yeah I was thinking I had to unscrew the line, but I only had to move it. I've heard of Glen Rock, never been there. Cool, I didn't know any members actually lived kinda close by. I'm doing my first h/c swap and it's proving to be a bitch at some points lol. Names Matt BTW

I've heard of people doing that, but I've never done it myself. Never been to the track either, I'd like to go sometime after I get this project done. I kind of baby my car since I'm coming up on 100K and the h/c will be probably be pretty harsh on it, so I don't race too much but I still like to have fun sometimes, I'm saving for a rebuild or a new motor after this so I'll be able to beat on it a lot more.

Alrite, I'm hoping to be done in the next week or two because I have to work on it in between work and working out so I don't have too much time. But I'll let you know when it's done and we can meet up or something. I'll be posting a vid when the swap is over so you can check that out too.
