It's not that difficult a job. Removing the radiator helps you gain some space to work in. Getting the bolt off, for me, required nothing more than 5'th gear, the parking brake, and a breaker bar with a length of pipe.

when I did it off the car, all i needed was an impact wrench
on the car, I'd go with Joe's advice...Removing the radiator gives to lots of extra space to work around....however, you dont need to. just pull the valve cover, belts, pulley for WP, all the covers (10mm gets a lot of use) and there it is. tensioner is 14mm, the end.

Assuming you mean the one atop the thermostat housing, that one is the on/off switch that controls the fan. The sensors for the dashboard and ECU (yes, they are separate) are on the back of the head below the CAS. Just FYI.
