This is all from memory so bear with me.  Start by
taking off the front bumper(two screws under the
headlight washers/plastic caps, then just yank the
sides out of the clips that hold it in position.  Take
out the drivers headlight, washer fluid resevoir, and
move the ps fluid resevoir.  No need to remove it
completely.  There is a bolt right there (no need to
remove that stuff if you can get to it, but I couldn't
do it).  Another bolt on the bottom, and some stuff to
unscrew un the engine side.  From there it's just a
matter of removing and re-attaching the condenser and
the fan shroud.  As alway it's a good time to replace
hoses, and make sure to use phosphate free antifreeze.
 BTW, one small (actually huge) thing. When you put
the screw clamp on the large inlet hose on the top of
the radiator, make sure the screw part is off to the
side, and not on top.  If it is on top, you will hit
it with the hood every time you close it, and
eventually snap off that stupid plastic hose nipple.
Good luck.
