It should be very straight forward if I can remember correctly.

Since it is manual, there are no transmission lines going to it, so there should only be two rad hoses and an overflow hose going to it.

Some times for the install would be, if the spring clamps are rusted, I would replace them with regular gear clamps to ensure they don't leak. Also, ensure you bleed the coolant system properly until the thermostat opens up and there are no more air pockets left in the coolant system.
