Default E36 AC Condensor Replacement Info needed - Please Help

Hello All,
I am in dire need of the directions for changing out my AC Condenser. I
have a 93 325is. I love my car, she's been great to me. I "developed" a hole
in my condenser which was not repairable. I was very lucky to find a
gentlemen in North Texas who happened to have one he was willing to let go
for a very good price. I just need to figure out how to change it now. It
looks as though I have to pull the radiator & tranny cooler & fan assemblies
out. Or am I missing the "simple" way to do it?

Please help. I have a Bentley manual on order, but I would like to get it
changed out this weekend so I can get it evacuated and recharged and quit
sweating every time I get in my car. :-) (Not like I have much of a choice
on the sweating part in this part of the US)

Please help me on this one!

Thank You
Karl N.

Who told you the hole was not fixable? Can you see it? I'd try very hard to
solder the hole and avoid the headaches of pulling apart the front of your
car.

John,
I took it to three different radiator repair shops. they all stated that
it was too big to repair. I already have the replacement condenser. I just
need the directions on how to rip the front apart.

HELP!
