Swapping radiators is a snap. You don't have to remove the AC, just unbolt the bracket for the AC line.

1. Drain coolant from radiator using the drain plug at the bottom.
2. Remove electrical harnesses from fans...probably will have to use pliers to get them through the mounting holes...just push them through.
3. Remove the radiator hoses and unbolt the radiator mounting brackets.
4. Pull out radiator.
5. Unbolt fans and put them on new radiator.
6. Put in new radiator, plug harnesses back in, bolt everything up, reconnect the hoses.
7. Fill radiator with coolant...50/50 mix. Fill until you see coolant at the base of the filler neck.
8. Bleed coolant. Start the car with the radiator cap off and let it idle until the fans come on. You will see air bubbles rise out of the filler neck. Add more coolant if needed, and squeeze the upper radiator hose to get more air bubbles out.
9. Replace radiator cap, turn car off, fill overflow reservoir to the max mark.
10. Crack open a beer and relax.
