It is kind of a pain but do able. It comes out the bottom. Is it a turbo?

Thats easier than a turbo. Turbo car the intercooler comes out with the Rad. The condensor stays.

The 99 should have the green clips you press the tabs in and pull the line. Carefull the clips might break.

mhm, with the clips make sure you dont bend them to bad cause if you do they might not hold when putting it back on. i just did my radiator thanks to a high curb that dismantled mine but i just crimped the sides back on it, its not to bad of a job a buddy and myself did it in about 5 hours.
