72 Javelin Fan Shroud Installation

I removed my 7 Javelin radiator many a time leaving the a/c connections in place. A/C lines are passed along the sides of the radiator, so the only thing needed to move out of the way was the upper support baffle, and fan shroud.

The most difficult part is removing the composite fan shroud. I found removing the belts and slinging the shroud back over the water pump allowed enough room to pull the radiator up and out.

Yes the condenser mounts forward of the radiator at the bumper side. Considering how little room was available with how things are placed, over larger body cars, the Javelin became my favorite body to work on... though I would do things then that I would not do now. Once I removed the hood and front bumper and valence to do some work that required a lot of bending, without removal of engine and what not, as to get a better leverage, since I am tall. Now removing all the unnecessary stuff, can male for unexpected damage.

Thanks for the responses guys. Good to know that I don't have to mess with the a/c fittings.
