Default AC Condensor Replace?

I'm replacing the entire ac system since its all been cobbled together by the PO. I haven't had a chance to look in the manual. So, I thought I would ask the board.

When changing the condensor, does it come out the radiator side or the front side?

I know I didn't pull the grill, so I must have pulled the radiator.

Pull the fan off, take radiator bolts out and tip back. Pull condensor bolts and pull out. Mine didn't have any lower bolts on the condensor so I didn't need to take the grill off.

Thanks for the advice. Sounds like I needn't pull the rad completely. Just unbolt the fan from the clutch...

I have the grill out now due to replacing the headlights. I noticed the mounting system for the condenser didn't look very straight forward. The brackets look to have mounting screws or receiver slots at the bottom. Which would mean there are bolts at the top but I couldn't see them. So that’s why I asked...

Again

Thanks, condenser is inbound from Rock...
