alright, tryin to gut out my A/C i discharged the system at a shop today, and took out the compressor. what all can i take out now, and where is it?

the condensor is in front of my radiator correct? can i remove it? is it easy? and im assuming all of the lines can go as well... anything i should leave in?

Condenser, and dryer (the aluminum tank on your firewall), and all the pipes.

how about removing the front end? can i do it with the car on a lift rather than removing anything... lol my friend (jeffus) says he "thinks" you need to take off the front end,

I did this yesterday. Getting the condenser off would be easiest if you take off the part where the hood latches, that will give you clear access to it. Be carful because there is an Airbag sensor on it! After that, there are a few pips that come off with i think a 10 mm socket. Once thats off, look of whats holding it to the radiator, shouldn't be much, just a few clips. That should be it. I was taking the whole front end of my car, because im taking the motor/trans, harness, everything.

Yellow connectors/plugs/sensors is pretty much the standard. If its for the airbag it will have lots of yellow on it.
