Sounds like you're doing a pretty good job tackling it. I remember it was a tougher job than I expected. I recommend not having a deadline (like next weekend), and work on it until it starts to get frustrating, and take a break.

I didn't notice earlier - Are you installing an aftermarket radiator? If yes be prepared for a little extra work. IIRC, the inlet and/or outlet of my afternarket rad was bigger than the hoses I bought, and it took some effort to get them on. Getting the fan and shrouds back in place were tough, too. I think I dropped the lower (PS?) cooler to have more room. Tight spaces.

Good luck. You'll have good peace of mind when it's done.
