no unbolt your radiator and push it away so that you can slip the condensor out. make sure you unbolt the lines going into your condensor

Can you take a good pic of it once you get it out? I would like to see the difference in an R134 condenser compared to my R12 unit.

Supposedly, the 134 unit should have smaller, more densely packed channels. It may also be parallel flow instead of serpentine. I just don't have access to a134 car to see for myself.
