I think I removed the multi-rams and fan from behind the rad and unscrewed the A/C condenser on the front.

Was about 7 years ago though so memory a little hazy :-/

No need to touch the A/C condensor when replacing/removing the main radiator  :y

No bag pipes can stay, all the bolts / access you need is to the left and right. They won't get in the way
