Opti install is pretty straightforward. Allow yourself around 6-8 hours since it is your first one. If you have the vented style which on 95 I'm not sure then the Opti only goes on one way and you really can't mess it up.

Be sure to make sure the gasket surfaces on the waterpump are clean and I used a little RTV sealant on the gaskets to make it seal better. I believe the waterpump bolts are to be torqued to 35 ft lbs.

Make sure you have the right tools...extensions, deep well sockets (15mm if I remember right).

Just take your time.
