Hey I m Kind of new to this website, the first thing you ned to do is remove the fan, then loosen the belts to the water pump, then you can get to the bolts that hold it in.

you'll get used to people harping on "search". So search first.

With that said when you're pulling the fan, remember to pull the fan shroud first. There's a piece at the bottom that lets the shroud lift up and out. Then go for the fan, then the belts. While you're going at all that other stuff, let the coolant drain out from the bottom of the radiator ala the drain petcock. This is of course done with the cap taken off the radiator.

You'll want to search for the tips on how to fill the coolant up. The s-chassis cars have a tendency to not like a simple fill and have a few tips and tricks you should follow to ensure you're not going to overheat on the road.
