I called a real-time repair help line and they told me I could bend the AC tubing out a little without breaking it. I would never have had the confidence to start bending metal pipes around with out advice to do so. I was able to bend it enough to wiggle the radiator out. It worked. In fact I had to move the radiator past it a few more times before got everything working right. ( the shaft on the new fan motor they sold me was too long and punched a hole in my new radiator arg!)
