Lower radiator hose
I am in the process of changing the t-stat, the upper radiator hose, lower radiator hose, serpentine belt, and new coolant. The last step in this little weekend project is getting to the lower radiator hose clamp. Do I have to remove the belt tensioner or is there an easier way to remove it. Thanks in advance.

Yes, you need to remove the tensioner.
Also, it is a good idea to replace the clamps too if you aren't already doing that. I like the ABA hose clamps.
What hoses did you get and what stat? I was able to get the GM OEM hoses before they were gone on my 89.
