Brackets are ok on the linked replacement and cooling rad goes in and out no problem - just slight bend required in pipes from the drier to match those on the car 

Hope goes well.  Here is the original one which was removed from mine    I recon I got my money's worth after 15 years !!!

I think I found why the A/C was not as "Cold" as it used to be !!!!!  Not shown up as good on pic, but bottom left patch is bright GREEN !!!

New one fitted as identical, even down to the GM Delphi hologram sticker and Part number   Car ICE cold now I need my coat to driver her

When you clean out the 10 or so years of leaves and muck from between the fans and the condenser and the condenser and the coolant rad it's amazing how much more stable (and lower) the coolant temp sits!

Those two front fans for the condenser also do a great job of keeping the temp stable in stop start traffic in the summer.

  Definitely    Temp rock solid now. 

Touch something wooden, and that is all the niggles on the old Girl sorted 

Freshly washed & waxed again and the old girl scrubs up well    Better go and tuck her up in the garage under her blanket

Fitted the A/C condenser and fitted the rad an all the gubbins back today took 2 hours at a leisurely pace, The radiator actually went in better than the job I had removing it, Condenser didn't require much of an effort to get everything lined up either 

The old condenser is most definitely the original an is clearly leaking, Leaves an stuff had congealed with the green stuff.

Just in time also been a sunny day, Only just started to rain.

Well, ac guy just left. Had his yellow goggles and uv lamp on it. Condenser in good nic structurally, but it's got a hole in it half way up on the drivers side.

Not as simple as swapping as shrader valve. Sadly.

If your thinking of buying that condenser,make sure it comes complete with the dryer,as they show it separately,which the omega doesn't do. Should come fitted.
