Trust me it is a pain. Take the bottom splash pans off. The front clip has to be removed to access the 6 screws that hold the oil cooler and A/C condensor to the radiator. The inner-cooler is in the way to remove them too so that also has to be removed. Head lights and parking lights. Wiper (headlights) washer lines come off. Might as well take the air intake hoses off, can't get the radiator out anyway. Power steering line, turkey baster to keep from making a mess and to remove fluid from the canister. Transmission cooling lines, drain pan a must. Radiator fan. The electrical clips can be tricky to remove without breaking (I used very small flathead screw driver to the side of the clip that has the keeper) to keep the little plastic molded keeper from breaking. Getting to clamps can be fun if someone didn't give thought as to where to place the screw head, in the past. Don't forget to two little screws that hold the front clip to the inner fender well. I wouldn't worry about draining the rad until right before removing (it will be easier to access drain points like the lower radiator hose). I just used channel locks onthe clip that holds the radiator to the front cross member (squeeze them together they just slide out). Email if you need help. Personnally if I did it again, I would have started with the front clip. I used two little bungees to hold the condensor and oil cooler up while they were disconnected from the radiator (have that ready when removing the screws that hold them in place.
