Disconnect the negative battery cable. If you have the Delco Loc ll or theft Loc system be sure and disable the lock out system.
OK here we go drain the coolant system. remove the cooling fan assembly. Disconnect the upper and lower radiator hose. Remove the automatic trans axle lines.Remove the hood latch bolts. You may have to remove the right and left headlight assemblies from the vehicle. Use a flat head screwdriver to lift the fan assembly tabs that lock over the condenser and separate the radiator from the condenser. Remove the tie bar from the vehicle. The radiator should come out the top now with some wiggling to clear various components.
