I already have Samco hoses and I believe someone mentioned in the past removing the thermostat housing. The main thing I'm hoping is that I won't have to disconnect any airconditioning hoses.

You absolutely do not have to remove the AC lines. Disconnect all the fasteners. There are three screws on each side of the shroud low and forward that are hard to get to. Be patient, they will come out.
Then lift the left (driver's side) of the shroud first.
The hang up will be on the right side, under the oil cooler and AC lines. It is hard to do the first time, but the shroud is very flexible. The right corner of the shroud will flex enough to get it out from under those lines. It takes some force, but it will come out. I did it this week and I got it out and back in.
Once you have the shroud out, you may want to remove the fans. It is only three more screws and two wire connectors. It will make changing the hoses easier. Put the fans back in before the shroud.
Good luck.
PM me and I will give you my phone number if you need a friend to call.
