Next up was to drain the coolant, remove the coolant hoses, remove the plastic fan shroud and remove the radiator. Fairly simple process and opens up the front of the engine for more work- that Italian Snowball again. Car on wooden ramps, and coolant draining. Removal process. The large black plastic thing is the radiator shroud with the white fan inside it. Rad, fan, shroud and hoses removed. Now that is some working room! Cooling fan removed. Not going back in since I am installing an electric fan on the front of the radiator. Radiator out, started cleaning, painting, etc. This is the bottom, with the brass drain plug shown. Next up I removed the exhaust manifold. It's the cumbersome manifold used with the air injection system for US emission standards, so I want to get rid of it for the European 2-piece manifolds that are smaller, flow better, etc. This change requires I get a new exhaust system as well...snowball.
