Default Changing radiator

I am swapping my radiator out tomorrow and have some questions about the job. Is it as simple as draining the coolant, removing the radiator shroud, removing the fan, removing the upper/lower radiator hose, undoing a few bolts, and pulling the radiator out? Is there anything I missed here?

Default RE: Changing radiator

the place I got the radiator from said it is off of a 99 Cobra. This radiator has 2 extra holes in it for what looks like the transmission cooler line hookups. Can i just find something to plug these up? and if so, do you know what size plugs i'd need?






Those brass fittings are threaded on the inside
