Please list step by step how to remove the condenser. It looks like the headlamps can be taken off and there are only two bolts one on the left in the middle and one on the right at the bottom of the dryer and then the condenser can slip straight down once the line manifold is unbolted. Is this correct and the radiator does not have to be pushed back first correct?

Hello,

Yes, it looks like the radiator needs to come out with the condenser. Here are some guides and diagrams (below) to help you get the job done.

You will need to jack the car up first.
