I found out that I can disconnect the two lines, that way I can take them away or send them out to be modified. And apparently the drier is built in to the stock condenser...i guess that means I need to buy a new drier to run(only $30)....
the item at #9 is a clamp(pn 25728832) that holds 2 metal lines together, I just have no idea how to open it. Here's a pic...
