Default Radiator removal in 2000 Beetle 2.0 AEG

What is involved in removing the radiator from a 2000 Beetle with a 2.0 AEG, with oil cooler, A/C, and manual shift? I looked at it and it does not look to be easy. Any help would be appreciated.

You will have to take the front nose of the car off to do it.

Thanks,

Wow, did you just take it apart, or take it apart and put back together? How about some DIY instructions for the next person?

I took it apart and put it back together. Not as bad as I thought it would be, but still not fun. Bolts were (head size) 10mm, 13mm, screws were torx t-20 and t-30. The rest was trial and error.
