Sounds pretty much like what I am doing, which suprises me....My Chilton's
and Hayes manuals say to remove the rad and alternator, as well as the ac
compressor mount bracket, all of which I thought was unnecessary....
Looks like I should buy the factory manual...
BTW, thanks for all the typing!! Reading these steps in print make me feel
a little better......Reassembling today (only been working on it an hour at
a time through the week....)......
Thanks again for the help!
