a competent repairer MAY be able to salvage it, but most will just replace the condensor lines.
its quicker and therefore cheaper.

from your photo though it looks like your pointing to the small radiator at the front??
that is your gearbox oil cooler, not the AC.
simply replace the rubber hoses with new ones.
and dont use radiator/heater hose, use high pressure rubber hoses as the cooler can reach pressures of 150psi plus.

You sure thats not a tranny cooler? I have never seen a/c rubber lines held with hose clamps like your picture.
