The A/C lines don't go into the radiator. They go into the condensor. Just take off the radiator shield, then unbolt the lines from the firewall, and to the back of the compressor, and it just pops out.

What you call the cooler is actually the Condensor. Like what was said above, remove it completely, it serves no function when the AC is removed, and it is in.

I always called it the AC Canister, that holds some of the Freon when the system is not on.
