Am I going to have to suck down the A/C to swap out a radiator support on an 85? I'm thinking yes.... condenser.

you will have to evacuate the system to get the condensor out to do the swap the hoses go through the support

That's kinda what I thought. Hopefully my old employer still has the old R12 machine hanging around. If he does, he'll probably let me run the truck in and suck it down, then bring it back later to recharge it.
