John,
First things first. If you are a newbie you will want to make the most out of www.fbody.com/tech/. It is a site that will walk you through almost any thing you need to know.

Second, I am from Panama city Fla originally myself. No it does not freeze,BUT you have to work about the heat..... That is as bad as far as I am concerned. When I live at home on my LT1 T.A.
I did the 160 thermostat and changed the fans with hpp3 programmer. as far as the coolant its self go with the red dextron coolant from the dealer.
