Some of the hose clamps aren't easy to get at and may require removal of other components as well. Especially the ones at the water pump. Be very careful when removing the two hoses that connect to the heater core at the firewall (near the alternator). The hose barbs coming through the firewall are part of the heater control valve and are plastic. They break easily if you don't use caution. If they break, this job certainly gets more complicated.
You should do a good engine flush while you're at it. I like to remove the block drain under the exhaust manifold. Lots of crud seems to come out there. Replace the coolant with G-05 or Mercedes coolant.
