Radiator Installation /w Air Intake

I just purchased these two and basically want to know if I should just install it at a shop.

I am very willing to learn but I don't wanna **** anything up.

Its a Koyo with Apex.

Whats the difficulty in setting these two up and what would I have to take out in order to fit these two in nicely?

Like would I have to take out the intercooler and such to fit this radiator?

How would the fan mount onto the radiator?

The radiator and intakes will not interfere with each other. The radiator install can be PITA the first time around. This linkk should be very helpful:http://www.rx7guru.com/radiatorhowto.html

It will probably take you quite a few hours. You gotta remove the intercooler, IC duct, battery, airbox and everything else thats in the way. Then you need to reinstall everything and 'bleed' the coolant appropriately so there is no air bubbles.

You might want to consider giving Joe a call.
