Since my air isn't working,would it be a good idea to remove condenser?How hard is it to remove?Want to increase air to radiator,narrowed down car bucking to her being a lill hot.Runs like a champ at 85 or under 90+ n she bucks.Everything in engine bay is super hot to the touch.Thinking maybe thermastat popped loose in it's lill house.Noticed the lill helper fan running more frequent.Fan clutch is tight but I don't really hear it in idle traffic just the smaller one.Didn't use a chemical flush,just a few drain and fills with distilled.needle is now staying put in middle,before it would rise on highway.Running 50-50 pre-mix rest water.Fliuds up to date.

So you want to remove the condenser because the engine runs too hot?

Why not clean the front of the condenser with a tiny pick or replace it with a OEM new one? When you do one or the other you might consider putting a screen in front of the condenser so it doesn't get clogged with trash. Replace the radiator with a CSF, pretty cheap at $100 shipped or so. I have no issues with heat so far and I see 90* F daily so far. But I don't run A/C Because I am too cheap to afford to replace my compressor and God knows what else.
