Radiator Help
Does anybody have a link to an owner's manual or can provide some radiator installation instruction?
I don't have a lift and need to install a radiator, horn, skid plate...and some other stuff.

I don't think the radiator installation instructions are in the owners manual but I did this over the summer so I'll try to explain from memory.
You'll need to get the front end up on ramps or jack stands. The lower support/skid plate goes in from the bottom. The air pump mounts on the drivers side and the horns mount on the passenger side. I'm pretty sure you can put the radiator in from the top (removing your CAI of course). There are rubber radiator support blocks that go in the lower support, each one is a different shape. I put the front shroud in from the top as well.
If you get on gmpartshouse site, they have an exploded view that will help. I don't know what year your car is but I have 2002 factory shop manuals at home and I'd be happy to answer any questions or fax pages if you need it.
Check the link and scroll down a little and you'll see and exploded view.
