Why not just wait till next week and do it all at once? So your going to drain the coolant just to install your radiator for one week then drain it all over again to do the water pump and pipes etc.? I would just wait unless it's your DD and your radiator is toast!itll have to wait till i get paid next week, would it hurt to put the radiator in tomorrow and the rest of the stuff in next week?
pretty easy job to replace the radiator. problems i ran into doing mine were the quick disconnect fitting for the lower trans line and reattaching the condensor. i invested in the set of line disconnect tools for the QD fittings, but it was a struggle to get it apart and reassembled. probably easier to just forgoe the whole mess and cut it off, reattach with clamps. with the condenser i snapped off the nut studs on the top, used wireties to keep it in place but i know they make through clamps for this, might want to pick up some of these if you run AC.
