i would pull out the bottom rad hose to release the water, and resserve line to the bottle and take the rad cap off to releave the vacum, take the intake pipe off the throttle body and maf so there is clearence, fan shroud is easy to remove, undo the top 2 10mm nuts, lift and push the fan shroud towards the engine to give you clearence as the fan blades wont let you remove it, the undo the nuts on the rad and pull it up

hi
the cooling rad also acts as cooler for auto box .so you need to check auto box fluid level.
