I have always found that it was best to remove the front clip before pulling the drive-line. That way, you can fully access everything and in the end, it is easier, especially since you are going to be painting the car also. The hardest part is to find a few friends to help you lift it off once you have it loose from the frame and the body... If I remember correctly, there are 2 bolts holding the core support to the frame, two at the upper corner of the fenders to the cowl and 2 at the lower fenders to the cowl. A few holding the fender inner pans to the frame, etc. You will also need to pull the bumper and hood first. I would leave the engine wire harness attached to the engine and disconnect it from the fuse block. It is held on by one 3/8" headed bolt. Loosen it and pull the wiring block apart from the fuse block..
