I'm having hard time seeing which end of the radiator is up in the manual. Should the hose fittings point up as in the attached picture?122575

Yes, that's correct. Keep in mind the radiator is angled down quite a bit. 50 or so degrees. So those outlets will be close to horizontal once installed.

As Paul said the radiator lays back quite a bit. Picture shows general final fit with the fittings now in line with the hose.

Also the red box is the area that goes up on the drivers side. There is a petcock there that gets used on some cooling systems with a hose to the burp tank.
