Install the A/C condenser in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
If you're installing a new A/C condenser, add refrigerant oil (DENSO ND-OIL 8).
Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fitting, and apply a
thin coat of refrigerant oil before installing them. Be sure to use the
correct O-rings for HFC-134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.
Immediately after using the oil, reinstall the cap on the container, and seal it to avoid moisture absorption.
Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it may damage
the paint; if the refrigerant oil contacts the paint, wash it off
immediately.
Be careful not to damage the radiator or the A/C condenser fins when installing the A/C condenser.
