The bumper shouldn't be in the way at all. X2 what Elton said, plus the coolant hoses of course, and if it's an auto the ATF coolant lines need to be disconnected.

Should be the same for your's as this 2003 FSM shows: http://www.deserted1.com/FSM/

Do you have a V6?

For some reason they reference BO-8, maybe you need to remove the grill?

The bolts holding the radiator on are behind the grill. Not sure if the must come off but it would make it easier to get to those bolts:
