Just make sure you drain it well, have a tarp of cardboard down. Id get a flush when everything is done. How old is your water pump and opti? Might want to think about changing those while your in there. Take your time and dont get in a hurry. My .02 Good Luck! Post if you have any questions.

One bit of advice is patience, if you still have AC you want to make sure you dont mess that up, You can take the fans from the bottom as well as the radiator. Attatch the hoses before you put the fans on.
