Default Condenser and Radiator Questions



Is the condenser in front of the radiator?
---may sound stupid but this is my first car and it needs some work

Such as this: BIRD'S EYE VIEW

MOTOR
radiator
condenser
BUMPER


And if i were to replace the condenser would there be any problems?
I heard word of problems with old a/c fluids and switiching to new a/c fluids, or something along those lines.

Please respond A.S.A.P.. Thank you!!

I forgot where the condensor is nor would I know what I'm looking at, lol. If you do replace it though, make sure you get the a/c system vacuumed out to remove any moisture. You should also already have the new stuff in your car. If not, it's a matter of retrofitting the valve stems and putting the new stuff in...there's more to it than that though, I would just let a tech do it if it were me, being that it's a high pressure system and I wouldn't want to screw anything up. I know the 97-00 do have the new stuff though.
What makes you think that your condensor is bad btw?

I got into a car accident and hit a telephone poll

It is the condenser, I am 99% sure because I looked up pictures of it online and it looks the same

I have a 1996 Avenger.
The Condenser has two areas where it was dented. The one area there is a whole there now and my dad said all the fluids [or their proper name] have probably leaked out.

Would it be expensive to get it vaccummed?... I do not want to spend like $300 - $500 just to have cool air. I love the a/c but i don't think i need to spend a ton of money on it.

Please Respond Anyone.....THANK YOU!
