Default replacing my V70 radiator

I am replacing my 2000 V70 XC radiator. Will I be able to get the radiator removed from the bottom? It looks like I can, but would like to know before I dig in. Also any issues with air locks when refilling?
Thanks

I guess no one on here has an answer for me? I will be digging into it soon. As far as I can tell from other posts, It appears that it does come out the bottom. I'm surprised that I have not received any feedback on this issue...

Here's an old writeup for an 850; don't know if same as your model but imagine it's similar. Unfortunately pic links are gone but should give you an idea of what's you're looking at...

Yes, it comes out from the bottom, but you have a plumbing mess to deal with between the AC condenser, the intercooler and lines.

Thanks for the info. I didn't realize I was in the wrong forum section. mine sounds close to the write up you supplied. Even without pics it helps to review it. The transmission clips look differant than the ones they say you spread apart. It looks like you would sqeeze together to remove the tranny lines. Does this sound like a possible type? I will be doing this in a couple weeks.
