According to my trusty Haynes manual, it's not that big a deal.
The hood latch is attached to the radiator support and is attached with 2 bolts. Before replacing it, scribe a line around -- or use a Sharpie marker to outline -- the placement of the current latch. Remove the bolts and the cable release linkage.
Installation is the reverse of removal. After installing the new latch using the scribed lines as a guide, check the fit of the hood. It should be flush with the fenders and the nosepiece. If it isn't, adjustments can be made by loosening the latch mounting bolts and sliding the latch up, down, left, or right and then tightening the bolts.
Enjoy.
On a Mercury Grand Marquis : Two of the places I know of to find the VIN ( Vehicle Identification Number ) are : Open the drivers door and on the end of the door or the latch pillar will be an information sticker that will show the VIN and If you look through the front windshield from OUTSIDE , on the drivers side , at the bottom of the windshield you will see a metal plate that is attached to the top of the dash that has the VIN
