Default A/C Condensor Problem/Question

Hey guys, I'm in the process of replacing my radiator and I noticed that the A/C Condensor was so full of sound it has to be blocking some of my air flow through the radiator. I'd like to take the condsensor out and replace it or try to clean it but I don't know what will happen when I undo the quick disconnects from the condensor. Will it just release freon into the air making Gore cry or can it potentialy ruin something? I was hoping I'll just have to recharge it with freon after disconnect.
Thanks

Just remove the radiator and use a garden hose on the backside of the condenser to flush debris toward the front. If your a/c is working good, u really don't want to mess with it. If anything is left in the a/c system, pulling a quick connect will really make a big oily mess. A pro needs to do the discharge/recycle.
