Not quite sure what your question is but I have a write up of what I did. http://www.rx7turbo.com/airconditioning.htm

Its not too hard, remove the rad, unbolt all the lines that are connected to it, and unbolt the 4 10mm nuts that are holding it on. Then just pull it out. I found the easiest way to get it out is to unbolt the hood latch, bend it back slightly, and then pull the A/C thing out in front of that crossmember.

I took mine out through the front when i installed my FMIC. You can remove the overflow tank, hoodlatch, horn, unplug all those connectors and set them asside then hack the lines off (mine were locked in place so i had no choice but to hack through the AC lines) and then unbolt the 4 bolts that hold it in. And then pull it out through the front. I had the front bumper off which made it a little easier but you should still be able to manage. It maybe a little extra work but it saves you from having to drain your engine/block of coolant. I hate that stuff.

I didn't remove my rad or my oil cooler. I disconnected the lines, unbolted the a/c part, and removed through the front. I don't have a coolant reservoir at the front, and my plastic divider parts were out. I unbolted the hood latch (3 bolts, I think), and it slid up and out.

Take it out through the front. Just remove all the bolts, remove the overflow can, the plastic, and the hood latch, unbolt everything that's running to it, and pull it out and up. Works like a charm. We had to unbolt the oil cooler to get to one of the bolts though.
