bumper does not need to come off, but pulling the oil cooler line is almost a must w/ a turbo since that stupid metal line runs right in front of it. I did a radiator for someone a month or two back and what a pain!

Epilogue --
I finally got back to it yesterday after traveling for a week. I took the distributor cap off, and the radiator popped right out the top, no problem. This is definitely the way to go -- it only took about 10 minutes to take it off and put it on again (including time to carefully label the cap and plug wires).
Basically, I'd say that Clark's directions are spot on, except that he fails to mention that the distributor cap should come off. Follow his directions and take the cap off, and it probably takes no more than 90 minutes to get the radiator out working at a pretty leisurely pace.
