Default Replacing radiator. Tips, advice, and a full report.

I will be replacing my radiator with a koyo in my 88 si.

Any tips or hints are appreciated. I have a b16 and kept my a/c should this pose a problem?

After I am through I will post a report of the work and time and tools.

It shouldn't pose a problem. I've found that removing the fans from the radiator before you remove it makes it a little easier on a car with a/c. But, be careful when putting the fans back on with the radiator, it's pretty easy to punch a hole in the radiator.

yup,
also:
- drain is on bottom left
-clamp upper and lower hoses unless you want it dumping everywhere
-once the 4 10mm's are out just pull straight up and watch for any snags

it'll be easy enough for ya
