The '''A/C Condenser''' is one of the major components in the air conditioning system. Like a radiator removes heat from coolant, the condenser removes heat from the highly-pressurized refrigerant after it's compressed by the [[AC Compressor|A/C Compressor]].

A common upgrade for R12 systems (especially those [[R134A Conversion|converting]] their R12 systems to R134A) is to install an R134A condenser as a replacement. The R134A condenser features a higher fin density, making it more efficient in cooling. 
==Replacement==
Replacement is as simple as unbolting the old and installing the new, after removing the [[Radiator|radiator]]. Be sure to properly evacuate any refrigerant from the system, and follow the guidelines on the [[AC Recharge|A/C Recharge]] article.
