today while working on my car, i tried to look for my radiator from the front of my car and realized theres another thing that looks like a radiator totally blocking my real radiator :crazyrant its even bigger than the rad. i gave it a little inspection and realized theres AC lines going into it. wtf is this thing? i thought AC just used a belt driven compressor... do i need this thing to have AC?

I believe it works sort of like an intercooler.
I may be wrong but the compressor compresses the freon which makes it hot, then the condensor cools it off in compressed form, then when its decompressed it gets supercool.
