As noted above, and its rather easy, unmount the condenser from the under side of the engine deck lid.

Tools, phillips screw driver, 8 mm wrench and socket, magnet pick up tool (extending type), side tray to put tools and stuff, 2 sheets of cardboard, moving blanket or canvas. If the car is not on a lift, a short chair or stool. Do a few squats to limber up. A hat on your head by chance you bang it on the underside of the deck lid. 2 tennis balls or hand balls, cut a slice halfway or one third into each one and push them over the corners of the engine deck lid so you don’t poke out an eyeball. Take a picture of each fastener condenser fastener point before you begin, and ditto on the rear whale tail spoiler.

Rear hood up, place blanket over motor, a few folds or layers worth, place fender protectors or blankets on rear fenders. On an 84-89 non turbo, disconnect the hose clamps securing the hoses to the hood hinges. Remove the allen bolt that secures the 180 degree hose fitting on the RH side. Place a blanket on top of the motor. Remove the small bolts that secure the condenser brackets on each hood hinge. Remove the bracket that secures the trailing center edge of the condenser to the under side of the hood’s center spare support. Carefully lower the condenser onto the blanket and be aware you do not want to put excessive stress (bend) on the ‘manifold tubes’ where the hoses fittings. Take a piece of cardboard and wrap it around the condenser (for that just in case moment).

If you do not have one already, download the Porsche Pet version of the pdf file for your year and model parts schematic here:
https://www.porsche.com/usa/accessoriesandservices/classic/genuineparts/originalpartscatalogue/
halfway down the page on the left, select 911 and 84-86

go to body main group 8, subgroup 813-55 for the condenser, and
803-10 for the tail

If you can document your fun here in your post I’m sure everyone will enjoy it.
Feel free to comment on spelling and grammar, halfway through coffee 1 waiting for the course to dry off.
