Help Need To Remove Factory Heat Exchanger

Well I messed up, jack slipped of f the front crossmember and now I got a leak. I want to remove the HE and bring it to either work so I can tig it or radiator shop across town. Do I have to follow same steps as radiator removal/replacement or can this drop from the bottom without removing the front clip?

You can do it with out pulling the front clip, just need to loosen the ac condenser and move out of way. Need to have car up on jack stands though, hight enough to have room to pull it out. You will also need to remove the two lower radiator support to make it easier to remove the IC. That how I wish I would have done it instead of pulling front bumper cover. If you need a factory IC I have mine I can sell you. I installed the zzp stealth IC

Thanks for the help. I removed the top plastic lip and can see it a lot better. I'll take it out tomorrow after work, I'm too pissed now to attempt it.
Oh, and I might take you up on that offer. I'll know more Wed, let me know how much you want for it shipped to 04460.
