so I managed to get the radiator and AC condenser off yesterday, learned how the clutch driven fan is attached on the drivers side (the passenger side was an electric fan), so I'm going to take that off next chance I get, then test the engine with a brief P.O.S.T.
just to make sure the mechanics are working.

after that I'm at the additive stage, provided nothing else goes wrong.

parts list:
Clutch driven drivers side fan.
Electric passenger side fan.
Fan shrouds and mounts.
Radiator and mounts.
AC condenser and mounts.
Transmission cooler and mounts.
grille.
bumper.

I also need to hammer out and straighten the crossmember the rest of the way but that I can do with a sledge.

the hard part is over with hopefully.
