CAI Intake installation problem NEED ADVICE

[97CamaroRS]

Three things are troubling me. One being that I stupidly broke off a radiator cover screw. It was actually RUSTED and at first tug, it just snapped right off. Second, the cooling fans have 2 tabs on the right side fo the radiator and the left side. I'm not sure if when I pulled the radiator forward some, these tabs were under the cover and then came out? Or is it okay that they are not under the cover? lol Yes I'm a newb :( but u gotta start somewhere lol..Third being that the slide-in fastener that slides into the clamp on the back of the headlight is pulling very hard on the metal clamp and I'm real worried that it is goign to rip off. NEED some help here...or should I just bring it to the shop and have them fix it up for me?

First part is easy... just find a new screw the same size and replace it... that shouldnt be hard.

Im a little confused on what youre talking about with the tabs....

As far as the slide in fastener goes... which intake are you installing, the SLP CAI? With mine i know i had to do a little adjusting to get it to fit in right... just play with it for a while... it should eventually fit... try to have somebody help you. It may seem a little tight when youre done but i dont think it will break off or anything.

Finally... if it comes down to it... it could never hurt to take it to the shop, and if you do make sure you talk to the mechanic and find out exactly what you were doing wrong. Knowledge is power.
And youre right, everybody has to start out somewhere and the only one who never messes up is the one who doesnt have the guts to try.
