Radiator Removal Questions ('88 5KSQ)

[David Head]

Remove the pump, leave the lines on - shift it over to the valve cover. The AC
condensor rests in a wedge at the bottom - lift and pull forward slightly.
There is a rubber mount on the bottom of the radiator - order it, it will need
replacement. There are 2 -3 other bolts under there that hold the lower shroud
to the bottom. Romove the fan wires and pull the radiator/fan & shroud as an
assembly - its easiest!
