Remove condenser if not using currently?

[douce48]

I'm installing a new radiator in a 72' GMC K2500.

It has factory air but the a/c will need some work before operational.
Should I remove the condenser in front of the radiator for better air flow until I get the a/c running?

I was also thinking of tack welding the 4 mounting nuts on the backside so if I want to reinstall the condenser, it would be easier since the condenser mounting nuts are sandwiched between the radiator and the radiator support.

Thoughts on both?

P.S. I'm finally able to post! It took a while

Thanks Bill
