55.2-59 1957 Radiator Support Removal - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

you could pull the front clip off, remove engine and place the front end back on quicker than the disassembly process
3 people can lift the whole clip on/off in seconds (once all the wiring & bolts are out)
we did this on my truk many times during the ifs install

unless you are severely limited by headroom, the engine comes out with a cherry picker with the rad support in place

these pics shows a filthy front clip in place after reinstalling the primered cab while doing cab rustoration
