It's pretty much just putting it in just like the old one (radiators, hoses, etc). Pay attention to how you remove the old stuff and just put the new one on in its place. Like, pay attention to which coolant lines go where into the radiator and just make sure you put them in the same place in the new radiator as the old one. If you bought the correct radiator for your vehicle, every thing should bolt up just fine with very little problems.
As for the thermostat, also make sure it's seated properly b4 you start tightening down the housing--- being aluminum (instead of cast iron), those thermostat housings can easily snap if the thermostat isn't seated correctly.
Hope this helps.
