FMIC installation question.

I'm installing my hks fmic right now and I got to a point where I dont understand the directions. It says:
"remove the rubbermount located on the upper part of the radiator on the vehicle side." (I can not figure that one out. I found a rubber mount on the car, not radiator, but it doesnt screw off. I tried and it broke)

Later it says "(1) remove the factory bracker located on the upper section of the radiator(done it) (2) Install the rubber mount removed in previous step onto the same place the factory bracket was removed from.

This has got me searching the deepest cracks of my *** to figure out. Does anybody have any suggestions or tips.

PS. when releasing the ac gas, which nozzel do I let it out from? The red or blue?

Thanks

Quite simply, who here has installed their own fmic and what did you do when mounting the radiator upright?

I believe there are some rubber bushings on the radiator, I couldn't get them off so I Installed it without them and it worked fine, if I remember correctly.
