Pulling front cross member advice

[evolve520]

So I got a line on an 87 pickup being parted out and I have to pull the parts myself. Want to grab the whole front including cross member, a-arms, spindles, brakes, all of it, to swap into my 66'. I know you can use the 66' x-member but mine was sectioned/pancaked very poorly so I want to replace it. What tools will I need to remove the x-member? Is it just bolted in or are they riveted? I assume I can pretty much remove that and keep the rest attached excluding cutting brake lines. Is that correct? Would save a lot of time by not having to remove it piece by piece and then disassemble it once I get it home. Thanks,
Jon
