:nutz:

I had the advantage of taking the front exhaust manifold off as well. Not needed at all, but was a nice amount of extra room. I can't stress the importance of blowing out the old crap from between the radiator like James said and the actual radiator as well if you can get to it. I think I got a pound of bird feathers out of my radiator when I cleaned the fins.

My Monte's AC system had chronic problems I don't know if it is the same as a GP but I am assuming so. The condenser didn't appear to be the problem at the time but after looking at it out of the car I wouldn't be suprised if it was leaking. After 3 consecutive summers fixing it I just said screw it and got rid of the AC. Even before I owned the car I knew of AC issues it had, my guess is that it happens frequently
