It's also not a bad idea to look for any crooked or bent fins to both the Radiator or the AC Condenser. These can be straightened by using a Fin Rake - a cheap (less than $5 tool from any Parts Store or online from Eastwood ) which looks like a Comb, but is designed to fit between the fins and allows you to open/straighten them if required. This too will increase your airflow to the Radiators. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Good points, Jim. I did need a fin rake but I have to leave that for another day. It looks like someone hit the AC condenser with a high pressure water hose.

Also, I didn't remove the wheel liners completely. I used Loren from Renntech technique of using twine shown in his 3rd radiator install instructions.
