Its been awhile since I changed a radiator on anything. I would say change all hoses, flush coolant system and throw in a bottle of Redline Water Wetter when filling back up. One other thing I'd watch out for is air bubbles in you system. Took me months to get them out of my Discovery when I changed water pump.
On an aside; Why are you changing your radiator out?

The upper radiator hose blew so I replaced it. The very next day, my radiator sprung a leak. Ordered one and will replace it when it arrives early next week.
