Surgery out the Wrong Side
It seems that one is supposed to remove the condenser by removing the radiators. However, it looks possible with some finagling to get the condenser out the front. Is this right?
Thank you all in advance!

A 1985 300TD . I think that putting your car into your post is generally considered a good idea for two reasons:
1) You may get a different car and change your sig. 2) It makes it easier for someone Googling a similar problem to find your post.

i got mine out of the front only because i'm missing the center vertical support that the valance plastic screws into (long story) but i bent the crap out of the original condenser and the hard lines that come out of it. if you unbolt your fan and get the shroud out of the way, you should be able to sneak it out between the radiator and core support without draining any coolant

I don't see info in signatures.
It will come out without removing radiator but it is a little more cumbersome. You will need to unclip the radiator and move it towards the engine as much as possible.
