If you hvae the 79-82 radiator, it just bolts underneath it. If you have the 83-85 radiator, you either have to get a 82 radiator. or fab up a way to mount it up in front under the header panel. i think that's what most people do. Personally, my radiator was nasty, do i just got the 82 and bolted it all underneithe. That's the easy part though. what sucks is capping of the hard water lines that go to the behive oil-cooler.

hmmm... but isint the air/oil cooler better at cooling the oil?.... plus.. you can get oil cooler hose kits from jegs for cheaper than 100 bucks and they will last 10 times longer than the stock hoses..
