radiator trouble
1977 Vette/stock L-48. Just noticed my radiator has started leaking in a couple of places around the bottom. I need to pull it and have it repaired or replaced. It appears that the fan shroud has to come out. Also two brackets on top of the radiator and all hoses. Is there anything else holding it in, on the bottom maybe??? Anything I need to pay close attention to when removing it??? Also, anybody got a ball park price on a new radiator for this model Vette??? I'm pretty sure it's the original radiator, so it's probably due for a replacement.
Thanks,
Kenny

Most of the radiators lift out after you disconnect everything you mentioned. I don't remember if you listed removing the fan also. Take a look at DeWitt's radiators. They are pricey but worth the money. Lots of satisfied DeWitt's users here. Consider changing to an electric fan setup also.
