Great video! I especially like the recommendation to cut the old core pipes. I didn't, used a screwdriver, and the firewall pipes flanges bent them so they would not seal. A 1-day easy job turned out to be a 3-day headache. One recommendation is, Blow compressed air through the firewall pipes in the engine compartment. There will be a lot less coolant to spill.
