Radiator-What´s the catch?

1.
I´m trying to remove the radiator in my XJ -89.I removed all hoses and the top supporting panel. Then I was told that after removing the upper brackets, holding the air-conditioning condenser, the radiator could be lifted right out? Are these brackets the only thing holding the ac-condenser? It seems that there`s two brackets holding the ac-condenser from underneath too. Is this right or did I just not pull the radiator hard enough?
Anyone done this operation, who could help me? :banghead:

2
Is there any way to convert the Ac-condenser into a second radiator?
The thought is, -since living in Sweden, there´s only so many days i actually need the Ac, so why not connect the condenser to the radiator-system, making the ac-condenser a second radiator?
The question is, will the additional volume of water be,
a) Too much for the waterpump to circulate?
b) Too much water for the engine to heat? Preventing the engine to reach right operating temp?

CapZoom, It might be a bad idea to retrofit your radiator system with your a/c condenser, since the weather where you live is cool enough/cold. But thats not a bad idea if you are 4 wheeling in extreme hot weather and need extra cooling.

On some rads, there are clips on the alignment dowels on the bottom of the rad.

Because the A/C condenser is designed for the A/C coolant and not the antifreeze and because of the connecting problems you will have to solve, it would be easier buy a rad with an third row in the core. A two row core should be enough for where you live though - it works well here in Canada.

If you don't need the A/C, you probably won't need the extra cooling either if the rad is in good shape and not plugged with mineral deposits.
