Default motor change question

i'm swapping out my 3.9 after throwing a rod. do I need to remove the radiator, core support and a/c condensor to get the motor and tranny out or can I pull them out over the top?

Unless you have the 3.7 I think this is in the wrong section.

Most likely not. But why risk breaking the radiator and condensor to save a few minutes of work.

I moved this thread to the G2 section where there are 3.9L owners. Good luck.
