replacement radiator question

[blacksunshine]

Bought a replacement 3 core radiator from radiator barn for my stock '01 jeep cherokee, got it out of the box today. It is lacking the inlet/outlet tubes for the air conditioning lines. It IS listed as a radiator for a/c and no a/c engines. Am I correct in assuming its possible to plug the lines into one another therefore bypassing the connection to the radiator. Seems like jeep had a bad design for the original radiator/ a/c line setup. Why attach a/c lines to the stock radiator????

There are no connections on the rad for AC. The AC condenser is a separate component. There are 2 connections on the driver side for the trans cooler connections, if you have an auto.

The picks show 2 units one radiator and one AC condenser they must be seperated and the ac condenser atached to your new radiator.

I guess i didn't realize they could be seperated. I will investigate in the morning. Thanks.
