Default taking out and putting in a new radiator in the coupe

My new radiator came with the new hoses i ordered (damn post office sat something heavy on top of the rad, so the big hose connecting points on the tanks got squashed in a bit)... i also ordered the little rubber mounting things.. so .. what do i have to take out to get the radiator and fan housing out??? I know there is a bracket in the front.. but when looking around i cant any of those little mountings. Do i have to take the expansion tank our or anything like that???

also what size is the fan switch that goes into the tank at the bottom?? 22mm??

basically its take out and put in procidure. so by looking on your new rad you can find where exavtly the mounting points are.
I would think that you will need to move the fans out the way. the rad should be able to come out easy or with a little strigle. just make sure you have enough space.

alrighty sounds good enough. From what i read i need to take the rad + the fan shroud all out at once.. and reinstall that way (easier i guess?). While all that is out.. im going to put in the new thermostat.. i will be sooo happy when i can drive the car again. I emailed the company that i ordered the rad from.. so if there are any cracks..i can send it back and get another one. damn post office.. i hope our new tv isnt all smashed up when it gets here

thanks for your help!
