e420 e500 condenser replacement

Why is it that every nontrivial job hits a spot where everything comes to a halt?

Trying to replace my a/c condenser (yes, there is a leak in the condenser) and I'm at the point where the manual says "Now lift the condenser out" and for the life of me I can't see how that condenser is coming out because of those bulky auxiliary fans. I'm assuming this is a special problem with the V8s but I'm not sure.

Does the condenser come out the front, or behind the front? Is there a way to position the condenser in a way that my simple mind has yet to grasp? Must the auxiliary fans be removed first (aaugh!) ? Should the engine fan be removed? The condenser is completely disconnected.

I am ALL ears.
