I bought a drop-in stainless steel sink. Is there anything I should know before installing it?

I bought this sink to replace the current old sink we have now. I've done a lot of plumbing and faucet installation and all that so I'm good on that front. I've not ever installed a sink though. From my measurements it seems to have the same exact dimensions as the drop in one we have now that I think is some sort of porcelain over metal (?) or something (lol). One thing I'm worried about is that the instructions call for clips but I cant find any clips, so I might have to call the manufacturer. Are clips necessary? The countertop is laminate.
Is there anything I should know before I install it? Thanks a ton!

It's very easy. First, you need the clips that were supposed to come with the sink. Second, apply a thick bead of LATEX CAULK around the outer most part of the sink rim on the under side of the sink. set it in the counter top and install the clips. wipe any caulk off the counter top that squeeze's out the sides with a wet rag.

Google "sink clips" and there are many different designs depending on the manufacture of the sink. Some can be a universal design. All sinks at retail have them in the box. Usually eight of them in a bag. They could be taped to the bottom of the sink. To save a bunch of aches, install the faucet before dropping it in.
