Pulling cam

Anyone ever pulled their cam on one of these trucks with a small block?


I gotta pull the cam out of my 393w and I've never pulled one with it in the truck before. Did you have to pull the a/c condenser out as well? Any other tips?

Ugh crap...I was hoping I could sneak it out without pulling the condenser, my system is charged and don't have an easy way of evacuating it.

I was able to get the cam out by taking the grille off and unbolting the condenser from it's mounting bracket. I had the compressor zip tied to the drivers side fender area and I simply lifted it up and tilted it enough that I could get the cam in and out from the front of the grille area....worked out quite well. I did not have to disconnect and remove the condenser.
