other possible helpful info:

I used tie-wraps to keep the condenser close to it's normal mounted position- this allowed some movement without needing 4th hand to keep that positioned up

and- used a hydraulic jack and a block of wood as a third hand, to slowly lower (and later raise) the radiator into place- it's tucked in there well enough that it will fall neither forward or back as you lower it- but you want to be careful of scraping the fins!
best of luck

hello,I'LL add this: Use channel locks to remove the temp switch behind
the the lower grill.Use needle nose plyers to remove(dont loose) the clips
that keep the spare tire wires(rods?)in place.Drive the wires out w/a
screwdriver/hammer.Remember to install the rubber washers on each radiater
post when reinstalling.Arrainge the hose clamps so they can be removed at
a future date without having to drop the radiater.Now,grow a third
hand ,and push up on the radiater while you install the bolts.When
done,grab the radiater and see if you can move it-shouldnt be able to.Good
luck,Roger Sisler
