i just received my new radiator hose from carparts.com...
before i install it do i have to drain anything before i take the old hose off??

Yes, drain the coolant from the system or else you'll get really wet... There are 2 drain screws in the 1st gen:

One on the bottom right side of the radiator as you're looking at it, there's a small phillips screw. Remove that. Then under the upper radiator hose theres a pipe running longitudinally with a bolt, loosen that. That should drain it all.
