The condenser is installed immediately in front of the radiator. Pins on the bottom of the end tanks locate in bushes installed in brackets integrated into the bottom of the radiator. Two brackets attach to pins on the top of the end tank to pins on the top of the radiator.

The condenser is classified as a sub-cooling condenser and consists of a fin and tube heat exchanger core installed between two end tanks. Divisions in the end tanks separate the heat exchanger into a four pass upper (condenser) section and a two pass lower (subcooler) section. Two connector blocks on the left end tank of the condenser provide connections for the high pressure lines from the Air Conditioning (A/C) compressor and the evaporator. Two pipes at the bottom of the right end tank of the condenser provide connections for the low pressure lines to the Receiver Drier.
