Subject:Re: 87 GL Radiator Replacement w/AC
Date:Thu, 14 Nov 1996 06:39:06 PST

Mark ;
No big deal! A/C condensor was NOT a factor on our 85 GL.The freon was
not disturbed when I took the radiator out to be flushed.
 Drop spare, remove hoses, remove temp switch,drop radiator. I recal
attempting to clamp off hoses so whole system would not drain. Can not
remeber if I was succesful though.

Good Luck
