If you are planning to pull all the nose sheet metal anyway, make it easy on yourself and do it now. The engine will be much easier to remove if it just has to come out, not up and out..

Put the inline six back in before you replace the sheet metal. I have done it both ways, installing a motor without having to worry about banging up the fenders, inner fenders, grill , etc is much easier..
