Step 1:
The first step I took is to take off the intercooler pipes. Here is
a picture of the SR Motorsports intercooler pipe. You will need to loosen
and take off the intercooler hoses to gain access to the stock radiator
and fans.

NOTE! I have a aftermarket Intake and 3 MSD's that are preventing
me to take off my stock radiator and they will also have to be removed.
You may or may not have these items in the way. If you do, you will
also have to remove them. If you have all stock parts, then you will
need to remove the stock Inake Box and Ducting.

Step 1a:
I used a 8mm socket to loosen and take off my intercooler pipes. Here
