I did a quick FAQ look for this (and found an old thread of mine), but I wanted to get them in one thread.

I am removing my engine and transmission (maybe as one, maybe as two...don't know yet). My questions (as of right now) are these:

Removing the hood, is it easy?


The metal bracket (?) that is in the front of the car (not the removable grill you can replace from the junkyard, but the one bolted to the car), is that easy to remove? Possible to remove?

I know to remove the radiator, but this bracket (it's the piece that the hood latches to) is left there and would be in the way. I've heard there are spot welds there potentially but that they aren't necessarily required when it is put back in.
