Default A/C Condenser removal question

I've completely pulled the a/c equipment except for the condenser. Can it be wiggled out by loosening the radiator but not draining it? I'm hoping it can just be slid out.

Thanks!

I had both out recently.

I doubt the condenser could be removed with the rad intact, but I can't say for certain.

Yes it sits in there just like the fan assembly. It has tabs that sit in plastic hooks on the radiator tanks.
Pull the radiator up a little and toward the engine as much as possible, it should come out.
