Note that on this vehicle the radiator, trans cooler (sandwiched between the rad and the condenser), and the A/C condenser are separate units. You can remove the radiator and leave the other units in place. You don't have to remove the hood latch assembly either. Also, I didn't have to go under the vehicle, since I didn't use the bottom petcock to drain the radiator - I just pulled off the lower radiator hose to drain it. (But don't do that until indicated below.)
Going by memory:
Remove the obvious fasteners on top of the radiator area. Pull the overflow tube off the radiator and lay it aside. Disconnect the electric connectors to the two cooling fans. The connectors have a plastic pin to be removed first, and ALSO you have to depress a tab at the end of the connector to unlock it so you can pull the connector off the fan motor. Then take out the bolt at the top of each fan frame, and the fans simply slide up and out.
If you pull the front grill forward at the top, you can reach down and remove the metal clips that fasten the grill at the bottom. These clips were a major pain to remove. There may be a special tool for it. I wedged a tiny screwdriver into the clip to hold its middle tab out of the retaining hole, and used a small crowbar to gradually pry the clip loose. This was no fun, but it allows you to remove the grill w/o taking the whole upper bumper trim piece off.
Next, remove the hood latch cable from its plastic retainers. Remove the crossmember over the radiator and lay it aside carefully (it still has the hood latch cable attached).
Remove both rad hoses at the radiator. Remove the two bolts at the top of the radiator that hold the rad to the brackets that hold the rad and the condenser unit together.
Carefully pick up the condenser/trans cooler assembly a little so that it lifts off of vertical pegs at the bottom of the radiator. Now the rad bottom can be moved backward slightly to clear the trans cooler, and carefully worked upward and out of the vehicle.
