I've done this job a few times. The fan fasteners include a bolt near the oil cooler and a nut on the stud affixed to the condenser. The fan will not simply drop out the bottom because of the frame rail that is just under it (see your photo). The radiator needs to be moved out of the way and the intercooler needs to be moved to get the condenser out. I may have done it the complicated way but I was able to get everything back together. I was not able to see any way to remove it with those parts in the way. I also did not have to drain the radiator (that would have been easier). A tip: my suggestion would be to disconnect the throttle cable because moving the filled radiator back and toward the passenger side of the car puts stress on the plastic fitting of the throttle cable adjustment. I worked from above and below the front of the car to loosen things up, but removing the condenser fan was ultimately accomplished through the top. Once you get into it, you'll see what can, cannot be done. Good luck!
