Silly questions

Thanks for all the great advice you guys!
Maroon, I think the top radiator hose is new, but i will carry a spare just incase. I have been putting off redoing the coolant, because i have no overflow container. and seeings it's ok to ask these funny quessies! Can you even get these on the old stangs?. Where?. My 'stang just has an overflow pipe that made me think my radiator was leaking, till i figured it out! hehe! (How can you tell i'm new at this?!)
It's strange you should recommend Napa RDRZ, i have been looking around, and they seem to be the cheapest, and only place with rad hoses even in stock. Thanks for the tip!.
And Nitrous, i've copied your check list very handy!
I've been worried about this trip, because my beastie is notorious for those 'weird noises', so i may just need that luck! She's got pretty much new everything (like spark plugs, distributer cap, filters), that can be replaced, and has been reliable since i got her feb last year, so heres hoping!
