replacing Condenser

I am planning on replacing Condenser on my 93 Maxima..
As far as I know the steps
1. drain the coolant..
2. disconnect all hoses to radiator.
3. Remove Fans and then radiator..
4. ?
5. remove condenser..
6. put everything back

Now I see a slim frame running on top of radiator.. should I remove this..?
Also should I remove grille..?

Am I missing anything ? other wise I will be struck on saturday morning

Appreciate your input guys..

Evacuate your A/C system of freon (or R134a - I think in '93 Nissan converted from R12 to R134a). Don't just bleed it off, it should be recovered to be reused or recycled. Of course, when you recharge the system, you'll need to create a vacuum in the system to remove any air/moisture that will undoubtedly get in the system when you remove the condenser...
