I just did this in August on an '86 5kt (a/t)...this
may not be exact:
1) Pull the hydraulic (p/s) pump. Get it out of
there completely. Move hoses so you don't get goo2000
all over.
2) Disconnect the battery...safety tip. Don't forget
you have a fan and fan switch to contend with.
3) There are three rubber mounts. Two small ones on
the top, one larger one on the botttom. There are
also shield mounting bolts to contend with too.
Get the latest revision on the top mounts. These will
have a "cup" of metal around half the rubber part. I
can get the revison letter for you if you need it.
The "cup" improves axial (sideways) rigidity.
4) Get the Modine radiator. Don't put the same
problem back into your car.
5) Drain as much coolant as you can before you begin
the process.
6) Might as well change those hoses while you're at
it>good luck finding the top "3 way" hose at a
traditional auto parts store. You are going to need
the dealer or the specialists (Blau, GPR, etc.).
