Quick question on taking the radiator out for cleaniging

[White 68]

While I,m waiting on the vacuum solenoid part I thought I would change the serpentine belt and clean out the radiator ...Well I have all the bolts and screws out{I,d like to meet the guy who put those in ... those six screws about killed me} Ok back to my question What hoses do I need to disconnect to get the cover out??It looks like the AC lines ..Will I need to recharge my system if I disconnect the lines ?? ..Thanks Tim

Yes I have drained the radiator fluid out..

I think you are looking at the oil cooler lines(hoses)
you shouldnt have to disconect the AC at all to remove the radiator.. I might be wrong its been 5 months since I looked at my car??

You can get the shroud out w/o removing any lines. You just have to work it a little.

When you put those 6 screws back in switch the j-clips to the other side and put the screws in from underneath (from the middle towards the outer)
