Arrow AC Air Conditioner (Condenser)

Ok guys now it's my turn to ask couple questions.

As some of you know I'm working on my swap...as of now I'm in the works of pulling the engine and trans out. But I have a question and the a/c condenser (I believe that’s what it's called/ the thing that looks like a smaller radiator that the a/c lines are hooked to) Well my a/c is going to be deleted completely pump pluming all of it. Now as of now this is a auto trans but will be swapping for 5speed. Now my question is this a/c condenser is being used as my trans cooler as well (I believe Now when I go 5speed will it still need to be hooded up to the condenser or can I delete it and if a trans cooler is needed go aftermarket??...or am I better off just keeping it? Less parts that need to be in the engine bay the better and little bit less weight. (tryin to do some weight reduction with some of this too)

Thanks in advance
-Ryan

I think there are transmission cooling lines that go to the radiator for an AT.

The condenser is just for the a/c.

ok cool. So I can delete my a/c condenser since I wont have any of the components for it any more right?

Dose 5speed trans even need a cooler?

Yes, that thing is the AC condenser.
Trans cooler tubes are in the bottom tank of the radiator. NOT in the AC condenser.

Manual trans doesn't use a cooler.
