No I have a 91 GT and How can you have a mustang and not have any tools?
There is noway of telling you what specific tool you need but I know you won't need any special tools like a torch or a drill. You just need a socket set some screwdrivers. you know the normal tools.

just drain the old fluid into a pan. you can keep it if it looks good or toss it and fill the new radiator up.
take the old hoses off (top and bottom).
you may have to unbolt the fan/shroud to unbolt the radiator from the car.
the radiator should lift straight out.
run water through it to see if it leaks.
it my not because there is no pressure,
buy a better aftermarket one. try summit.com for prices.

Unless you really have no mechanical ability, PLEASE do not pay someone to change out your radiator. All it involves is unbolting the clamps on the top of your radiator support, your hoses from the radiator, and like they said above, maybe your fan shroud. Buy a Haynes or Chilton's if you're really worried about it..... It's very simple and shouldn't take you more than a few hours w/ no experience.
