Air Con removal

5th Gen drivers...

When putting the front end back together, i noticed that radiator was leaking. When i say radiator, i mean the small tiny one that curls around.
Am i right in saying its the Air Con rad?

If so, is it difficult to remove?

If its the air con one, no its not. De-gas the system and just generally, remove it all.

Is there not a belt that needs changed with a shorter one, once the air con is removed?

It sounds like the PS cooler to me. I'd get that looked at quick as you dont want all your fluid leaking out and burning out the pump
