You can change the rad without disconnecting the AC. It can be swung out of the way without damaging the hoses the same as you would doing the timing belt. If it ain't broke...
I used Nissens parts when I replaced both the rad and AC condenser on mine. Supposedly decent quality European parts, but the fitment was awful! A genuine radiator is about £500 I think so I'll be searching for a better aftermarket option when its time to do the FE.
