Make sure your boiler (probably in the basement) has water in the glass vial in the front of the unit. For each radiator to work the valve for that respective radiator must be open.(looks like a water knob attached to the pipe leading to the radiator.) For maximum efficiency the vent must be the right size but it was probably installed with the unit propperly.
My radiator is clogged.
You really shouldn't use coil cleaner on a radiator. Unless the cleaner specifically says that this is one use you should use the proper cleaner.
If there's no cap, you have to use the reservior & let radiator draw it in.
No, Drano is a drain cleaner and should not be used to flush a radiator. It is not designed for automotive use and can cause damage to the radiator system. It's best to use a radiator flush solution specifically designed for automotive cooling systems.
Water can be entered into the radiator in a Toyota Celica by way of the radiator cap. It is no longer recommended to use plain water in a radiator. The proper fluid to use on most vehicles is antifreeze that is mixed at least to a 50/50 blend.
Under the radiator just use some pliers
No. You can use the old one as long as it fits securely.

It all depends on what size engine you have in it, if you have a 383 or larger I would get a 3 or 4 core radiator, a radiator shop can use your old radiator tanks and build you a new radiator pretty cheap.
You should use a torch for soldering a radiator. Torches provide a more controlled and even heat, making it easier to solder the joints effectively. Soldering guns are typically not recommended for radiator repair as they can overheat and damage the radiator.
