Default Radiator Removal

I'm taking apart the front end of my car to clean it all (don't question why I'm doin this, it's just something to pass time.

Anyway, to the point:

I got down to the radiator, and the thing infront of the radiator; however, even after removing the upper 2 bolts for the thing infront of the radiator, I can't figure out how to get it out. Then after that, I've taken the 2 bolts on each side of the radiator that hold it in at the top, but I don't know how to get it un-attached at the bottom.

I can't find my hilton's manual so could anyone help?

gotta look on the passenger side, like on my hatch, a little piece of plastic is pushed into this hole so you cant lift it up, but its a bitch to push forward or pull forward to get it to clear the hole. i had to use a screwdriver to pry it out. kinda hard to explain, but try lay down and look.

this is the problem i ran into taking out my radiator

If I read you correctly. The "thing" in front of the radiator is the a/c condensor.
And unless you plan on alot of expensive a/c servicing, it DOESN'T just come out.
Youve gotta drain the a/c system, not recommended merely "to clean" up car.
But if you really mean "the radiator" there is nothing holding it in at the bottom. Just some rubber cushions it rests on.
