Anthony, Get yourself some Pentosin coolant (blue). You can get it from AAB or a good import parts store. Add some waterwetter and be sure to use distilled water. I did 40% coolant 60% distilled water. As for the bolts I had no problems when I did mine last month. I took off the power steering belt and removed the rear pump bracket bolts to let it swing forward out of the way. I think I also removed one bracket bolt that was parallel to the ground. It takes a little extra time but gives you a lot more room to work.
