The front Rad on the drivers side is for AC?

There is an engine coolant rad plus an A/C condenser on each side, left and right. The A/C unit is mounted in front of the coolant rad. On an 'S' model there is a third engine coolant rad in the centre.

I replaced my drivers side coolant rad last spring after I found a very small pin hole leak when doing my yearly rad cleaning. The A/C unit is slightly smaller that the coolant rad and stones or other debris can get to the lowest section on the rad which is where my pinhole leak was. While I had the bumper off put in some gutter guard screens to hopefully prevent stones from getting in there. I still plan on a yearly rad cleaning.
