If you remove that part of the a/c, you will have to open the lines and all the freon will come out. They are rigid lines too, so don't bend them.

Cliffs: No you can't, and yes you will.

It's a condenser.

You're supposed to recover the refrigerant

yes. You'll need a new reciever/drier (cylinder with the sight glass). Once the lines are reconnected you'll need a vacuum pump to remove non condensables.
IF YOU DON'T DO IT RIGHT YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS.

hello

i thought that i can just unplug the conector and put it (the condenser) on the valve cover or somthing for a few min's to try my new manifold

i never thought that i need to unhook the hoses.
and i never thought about recover it by myself.

You can do that with the fan but not with the condenser coil.

Right, you could with the fan but not with the condenser itself. The a/c lines that run to it are solid rigid lines that will not flex. Hence, it won't work to take the whole thing apart.

thank you all for the answers.

i just took out the fan. 4 bolts

now the problam is the stock DP. i cant test if the turbo fit cause the pipe sitting too high so i dont have enough room for the turbo .
i guess i need to take out this pipe as well.
