Installation instructions for overflow/battery tray

I ordered one for $25 through my dealership and will have it on Tuesday. I replaced my battery last week and saw the tube from the radiator running right under it so is there anything i should know or is it straight forward?

In case anyone needs to do this in the future. The gasket in the top of the overflow is hard to remove so i cut the tank in half and pushed it out from the inside. The clamp hold down won't thread down so the new one must be thicker so i will need a longer bolt. My battery was also extremely tight and i had to jam it in to get it to fit. The liquid in the coolant tank was extremely dirty and looked like it came from a mud puddle so i am glad i did this.

I had to do some slight modification to the little hold down block, IIRC.
