How do I remove the ac condenser and what tools are necessary?

However, I can provide some general information about the air conditioning (AC) system in a 2015 Chevy Impala LTZ V6.
In most modern vehicles, the AC system consists of several components, including the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and various refrigerant lines and hoses. There is no specific component called the "AC orphan tube" in standard automotive terminology.
If you're experiencing an issue with your AC system and suspect a problem with a particular tube or hose, I would recommend consulting the owner's manual for your 2015 Chevy Impala LTZ, which may have information on the AC system components and their locations. Additionally, if you're not familiar with automotive repairs, it's advisable to consult a qualified mechanic or technician who can diagnose and address any AC-related problems in your vehicle. They will have the necessary tools and knowledge to locate and repair any issues with your AC system.

ac condensers are in front of the radiator so anything that prevents the condenser from lifting up and out or out from the bottom
could include bonnet release assembly and frame

well your gonna need a few special tools for this , im not sure your avg home mech would want to spend the money to buy them, (vac pump , charging hoses, referigerant, o-ring seal release tools) and etc. and thats just the itmes you need to make it work again, your gonna need the new condenser and some long-g-g socket extensions to reach the old one for removal

Replacing this will necessitate the loss of refrigerant gas. When you have replaced the condenser and the receiver/drier (must do) and the system is pumped down to remove the atmosphere from the opened system It is better that you have this operation done by an accredited ac specialist as they will check for leaks and refill with the exact amount of refrigerant necessary for your system

The lines are held on by internal springs over a lip on the line you need this tool kit to release them. Most auto part stores like NAPA have this tool kit, it is less than $10.00 I think

you should be able to do that by removing the top end (throttle body, intake, valve covers, loosen the rocker arms and remove he push rods, hoses, belts) then remove the fan, radiator, ac condenser and water pump/timing cover...then you need to loosen the timing chain and pull the cam out of the front of the car-not as bad as removing the engine, still a major job.

Water that comes from the AC Evaporator is normal and necessary.Part of the A/C process removes moisture from the air it is cooling, via condensation.

FIRST TAKE VECHICLE TO DEALERSHIP HAVE THEM TO DISCHARGE AND RECOVER THE REFRIGERANT FIRST DONT REMOVE LINES WITH REFRIGERANT IN SYSTEM COULD CAUSE BLINDNESS AND DEATH IF INHALE LARGE AMOUNTS AND ITS AGAINST THE LAW THEY WILL FINE YOU SOME AIR CONDITIONER LINES YOU NEED LINE DISCONNECT TOOLS TO REMOVE THE LINES FROM CONDENSOR.GO TO AUTO PARTS STORE THEY WILL GET THE TOOLS YOU NEED TO DISCONNECT THE LINES.

If your AC system is empty...The condenser is in front of the radiator.
1. Use ramps or jacks or a lift to raise the car so you can work under it.
2. remove the splash guard under the radiator.
3. Remove the bolts holding the tranmission cooling lines. These also may also hold the bottom of the condenser on the AC line side. Move the cooling lines away from the AC lines.
4. Remove the nuts holding the AC lines to the condenser. You may have to hold the fittings with a vise wrench to prevent bending the pipes.
5. Remove the other lower condenser bolt and use the access holes to remove the top bolts holding the condenser.
6. Lower the condenser out.
Reverse procedure to install the new condenser.

If you have the correct tools, this is a fairly easy job.

NOTE: Installation of a new suction accumulator is not necessary when repairing the air conditioning system except when there is physical evidence of system contamination from a failed A/C compressor or damage to the suction accumulator.
NOTE: If an A/C condenser core leak is suspected, the A/C condenser core must be leak tested before it is removed from the vehicle. For additional information, refer toSection 412-00.

1. Recover the refrigerant. For additional information, refer toSection 412-00.

1. Remove the front bumper cover. For additional information, refer toSection 501-19.

1. CAUTION: Plug all ports to prevent contamination from dirt or moisture.
   Remove the nuts from the two condenser core air conditioning line (peanut) fittings.

1. Remove the screws and the A/C condenser core brackets.

1. NOTE: When removing the A/C condenser core, disconnect the two air conditioning line (peanut) fittings from the A/C condenser core.
   Remove the A/C condenser core.

1. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
   • Lubricate the new A/C condenser core with the correct amount of PAG Compressor Oil YN-12-C or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSH-M1C231-B. For additional information, refer toSection 412-00.
   • Lubricate the O-ring seals with PAG Compressor Oil YN-12-C or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSH-M1C231-B.
