I was in the process of a '93 "refresh". New vacuum tubes, check valves, FI serviced, and coolant hoses. All was going well until I went to remove the coolant hose from the AST to the radiator. Didn't pull all that hard and the plastic nipple snapped right off. So now I'm looking at swapping out the radiator as well (ordered today). From searching the threads here, it sounds like the easiest way is to take it out of the top, but after removing the IC, I see that the IC shroud (is that the name for it?) has the AC receiver/dryer buried in it. How do I get this thing out without disconnecting the AC lines?

Thanks!

Just bend it to the side. It won't hurt it. And bend it back when your done. No need to disconnect anything.

Just a little carefull bending does it!

Instead of replacing "New vacuum tubes" try transitors they weight less, take up less room, and use less power!

True, but the vacuum tubes are much more resistant to EMP!
