    condensder coils.....

    I recently broke down an old window AC unit and an old Dehumidifier. Both got me some nice condensers. Problem is they have copper tubes running through them but the bulk of them are aluminum fins. I cannot find an economical way to strip them. I used a recip saw to chop off the steel ends and then ripped the copper "U" tubes out of the steel but now I am left with mixed AL/CU. I know the yard wont give me anything worthwile since it is mixed metal.... Is there an easy way to get the copper tubes out of the AL radiator? or should I just take it in as is?
