you know what you just made room for 
SPG now weighs this much less

Since the A/C didn't work, and I could use that spot on the crank pulley...bye bye a/c! While there was a small leak somewhere, the compressor did work. Its up for sale as well as anything else if anyone is interested.
I was surprised how easily it all came out. Did it over the course of two days since I was lazy. But considering I had never taken a bumper off a c900, and a few other things. I bet I could do it in a half an hour again.
P.S. I want T5 already.

It was wicked easy. Legit it started as I was just poking around. Starting unbolting things, and one thing led to another and boom it was all out.
Just make sure you got some good/large adjustable pliers or a nice set of wrenches to break free the fittings. Everything else was smooth sailing. A/C compressor is held on by 2 allen head bolts, and one bolt by the alternator. But that one bolt you just have to loosen and you can pull the entire bracket up and out. It slides out. The idler pulley is just held on by two bolts as well.
Pull out the lines, the dryer/receiver is held on by one bolt.
The evaporator is held in by the 4 torx screws that hold on the black cover to it. Yank it out. And make a cover plate for its openwholyness.
You need to take off the bumper to get to the condenser. Its not hard at all. 2 more allen head bolts. The condenser is held on by 2 torx up top, and two bolts on the bottom. Slides down and out.
I'd estimate the total weight being somewhere around 45 pounds. But I could be a bit high on that number.(or low, since i'm wicked strong)

I wasn't going to push the radiator around at all. Taking off the bumper was easy, and made pulling it out easier. and Yup, the condenser is definitely <4lbs. But it gives room for a fmic and aux lights
Well I was....but sadly...not for those reasons
.... at least not yet
