A/C fans are mounted to the condensor by 3 10mm (could be 8mm) nuts, the other end of the bolt is embedded in the shroud, and normally turns when you try to undo the nuts.

If you can remove the grill, and panel it will be easier than removing the condensor, but if your A/C isn't working, it would probably be easier to remove the condensor with the fan complete.
