You can have the rad and CAC removed to be cleaned, but this is only done when a normal cleaning is not effective. This job is full of "mysels". (As long as the rad is off, we mysel flush the cooling system, as long as the CAC is off we mysel replace all the input piping clamps etc.)
Normally, you squirt down that CAC and the radiator with aluminum safe Simple Green (the purple stuff), let it sit and spray it with water good from the front and back. Some installations allow you to remove the baffle between the CAC and the rad so you can get down between the two with the Simple Green and the hose.
Here's a recent thread about the fan hub bearing that also mentions cleaning the rad.
I had the RV shop that does my heavy work clean it and they did not remove the rad or the CAC.

Oh and side radiators are not immune from getting dirty. They're just a little easier to clean. For that you usually give up a basement compartment.
