Default radiator replacement procedure

Is there any place on the Forum where I can find instructions on how to change the
radiator on a 92 SC 300? The main question I have is the A/C condensor built in so
that if I change the radiator I lose all of my R12 freon. That will really hurt if I do, since the stuff cost $100/pound.

Thanks, Don

Condensor is not attachted to the radiator if you look real close you will see the bolts that mount the condensor.

You will have to remove fan shourd, radiator mounting brackets, upper and lower radiator hoses and the transmission cooler lines.
