The radiator you have to chop the front crossmember so that it will drop a couple inches. I have also heard people angle it back also. If you chop the cross member you have to make new brackets for the bottom mounting tabs.

I would take off the oil sending unit and nothing else to tap your feed line. I think its a 19MM. Use the force.

Doodoo is right. The single wire sender on the back of the block should come off easy.

The radiator won't fit without cutting the lower cross-member. I just tilted my radiator back about 1 inche and the pipes allow the intercooler to fit there (no AC of course). Someone has adapted a VW radiator to fit with no cutting, but I haven't got the model number yet.

Check the site below for radiator relocation instructions.

Good luck.

I got frustrated trying to remove the oil sending unit with the filter in place. Just make this a chance to change your oil and when your filter is removed, you'll have ALOt more room to wiggle around a good sized tool to remove it.
