I removed my front clip with an engine hoist. I used a 2x4 strapped to the two brackets that hold the rods going from the fenders to the firewall. I left the radiator in place in the support, and the whole thing balanced nicely. Disconnect the rods at the firewall, unbolt the radiator support from the crossmember, and remove the bolts at the rear of the inner and outer fenders. The rear of my front fenders were rusted away so I didn't need to be that careful, but you might want to put some padding between the cowl and fenders as you lift the front clip off. I even left the hood in place without it causing problems.
