I don't think anything is special about the 84... drain, remove fan, and shroud... not REALLY needed, but makes it simpler. upper hose, disconnect oil cooler, and hoses, remove tranny cooler lines, lift out? I think there are two metal clips holding it in. or is the SD bolted in? Hmm. anyway it should be pretty self explanatory.

Two clips, 3 hoses, and two tranny cooler lines. Pretty simple. It will probably take longer to drain the coolant than swap the radiator.

Thumbs up

I'd swap the ATF cooler lines while you're in there. May as well do belts too.
