    So i'm swapping out a radiator and just wanted to know if there might be any good write ups or tricks in doing this. I will assume all I have to really unbolt are the top engine mounts (dog bones, etc) unplug the cooling fan wires, trans lines, coolant lines (expansion tank line) and I should be able to simply pull out the radiator/fan combo. There are only the bolts holding the radiator in at the top of the radiator support correct? Let me know if there are any hidden or hard to reach screws bolts etc that I should be aware of, thanks in advance.

    You pretty much got it.

    Remove the dog bones and unplug the wires for the fans, take the upper rad hose off. Then I think there are 4 bolts holding the fan to the rad, you have to take the fans out first because the radiator and fans can't come out at the same time with the motor in the car. Once the lower hose and trans cooler lines are off, the rad will lift out and up.
