Hi:

Drain the radiator, remove the hose clamps holding the hose to the radiator and on the other end, the water pump. Reverse the order to replace.

Let me know if you have trouble.

I know that much, but the alternator and the power steering pump are in the way, as well as the brackrt that holds those. I am trying to figure out what all I have to remove first.

Hi:
You have two choices. You can remove the alt, PS, . To make it a much easier job to access the rad bolts, hoses. If you are very patient, I've done it before without removing them. And yes, it is a pain but possible.

If you can upload a picture of your concerns, I will determine if it is necessary. Remember to disconnect the neg battery terminal before starting.
