I did this in 2010 on my identical car. I did not remove my condenser. I believe that I had to drop the radiator through the bottom of the car though. I also had to make a special tool from [I believe] a 17mm open end wrench to be able to turn the fitting for one of the hydraulic fan lines that needed to be moved in the process. There was a little persuasion also involved in some of the hard lines, possibly even the refrigerant lines, to get that radiator out. I don't recall the job being fun at all. That all said, it may actually be easiest to recover the refrigerant and remove the condenser to service the radiator. I would definitely do it that way the next time. On the 17 mm open end wrench tool modification, it involved making a cheap wrench into a 3 inch stubby wrench and possibly bending the handle upward. It may have been able to be avoided had I had the proper crow foot wrench, but then again I may have tried the right crow foot and found that it did not fit correctly into the limited space. It has been 12 years.. Good luck with the job!
