Well, the way I've done it is to:
1) drain the old one.
2) disconnect the hoses and trans lines.
3) remove the old radiator by unbolting as needed.
4) Reverse procedure to reinstall new.

One thing I didn't mention is to do a good flush of the engine and heater core before you pull the old radiator. That way when you install the new one, all you have to do is fill it with new coolant and you won't be running the old rusty coolant through the new radiator.

The lower transmission line to the radiator was not easy to remove for me because I did not know about the nifty 'transmission line removal tool'
others say you can compress the plastic ears on the "quick disconnect"
but mine had no plastic ears to compress. Here's the removal tool:
