Cool man! Glad to help.

My steps are below if it helps, as far as I can remember.

1. Remove front under cover.
2. Remove skid plate.
3. Drain rad.
4. Remove hoses clipped to the bottom of the rad fan. I think it was like 4 clips.
5. Remove coolant reservoir. Gat rags. The bottom hose will have coolant. Move the 2 small hoses to clear the rad fan.
6. Remove the hose from the rads driver side. You can leave it connected to the water pump. This will help with removing the fan.
7. Unclip rad fan harness, remove torx from the rad fan top, passenger side.
8. Remove rad fan. Be sure to unclip the press clip on the driver side.
9. Take note or pictures of the belt routing. Depending on your build date, the belt can go under or above the ps pump pulley.
10. Release the belt tension for the ps pump belt.
11. Pump out ps fluid from the ps reservoir.
12. Follow the hose going to the bottom towards the pa pump. Its going to a connecter that has an aluminum cube. I forgot what it was called.
13. Get a small cup and shop rags for the next step.
14. Disconnect the one time use clamps with a screw driver. Put shop rags under it. Pull the hose and catch the ps fluid with the small cup.
15. I believe, from this point, its all unbolting.

You might need to remove both oil lines from the oil filter housing to remove the banjo bolt from the side of the ps pump.
Pm me if you have questions.
