A/C condenser swap...any gotchas?

I have the factory shop manual, so I'll check to see what all I need to do in order to swap out the old Condenser for a new one. Let me know if there're any tricks/tips/etc for this job. At a quick glance, I'm assuming that I'll need to remove the radiator in order to gain access. I have new O rings too BTW.

Thanks.

I had my condensor replaced a few years ago. The radiator stayed in, but both fans had to come out. Once you have made some room you can tip the radiator out of the way.

Are you putting R12 or R134 back in?

If R134 do you have the correct type of o-rings? Mine were green in color.
