and centered on the tabs the two center tabs on the front of the radiator will be intended for
the transmission cooler since we are working on a manual these will not be highlighted within this

next make sure the lower isolators are securely set into the frame rail set the
radiator in place and align the lower isolators to the mounting studs from the new radiator
align both of the upper 10 millimeter ac condenser bolts and thread these into place
reinstall the lower hose to the thermostat housing due to the increased size of the sve radiator
i chose to remove the upper hose from the engine this hose simply comes off
by removing the clip and pulling it away from the t-connector located by the water pump area in the
engine bay now that this is out of the way we can set the fan back in place slide the lower
tabs into the provisions on the radiator and then thread in both of the factory 10 millimeter bolts
reconnect the electrical connector for the fan at this time reinstall both of the upper mounts with
the two 10 millimeter bolts on each side
reinstall the upper hose starting with the engine side first. ensure the clip fully seats on the t-connector then install the radiator side with the factory
clamp reinstall the d-gas bottle this one is also held in place with two 10-millimeter bolts
reinstall the overflow hose from the d-gas bottle to the radiator
reinstall the radiator cover at this time
reinstall the factory air box or cold air assembly this will include
the 10 millimeter bolt on the fender the mass air connection the sound tube
pcb connection and the clamp at the throttle body
heading back under the car at this time you will need to remove both
of your lower ac condenser bolts these will be held in place by
two ten millimeter nuts you can use a four millimeter socket to get this out of place
install both of the provided eight millimeter bolts for the lower ac condenser bracket
take this time to double check that the petcock drain is tight to prevent any leaks
now install the lower radiator air deflector this will include both
of the seven millimeter bolts on the inner fender area six eight millimeter bolts on
the front edge and the additional eleven seven millimeter bolts on the panel get the vehicle on
level ground and then fill your d-gas bottle up reconnect the negative battery terminal
