Radiator Repaired WOOT
So we got it fixed... but let me just tell you how annoying it is to replace the radiator with an AC unit still in the car.
My suggestion to anyone replacing their radiator.... take out the AC first. But if not I hope you have a lift for the car.
Bumper is being fiberglassed back together and should be. Bigger, Faster, Stronger hehe.
All in All with AAA paying for the damage they caused and the 600 dollar govt check My radiator repair has been pretty much for free... Me likey.
Whens the Next Meet so I can roll out again with the Autobots?!

Just about anyone can swap the rad with the car intact with just a floor jack and a pair of jackstands.
It takes about 2 hours if you are really, really slow.
I had two different radiators in and out several times over a two week period and its a no-brainer.
Just follow the shop manual. It comes right out - A/C or not.

That is an utterly ridiculous suggestion.

First time working on the radiator... The connection points on the car made it tough for me....
