Radiator Core Removal Question

I have an 82 F150 and I am trying to clean up some of the wiring and engine components so I am removing the radiator core support. My question is, can the core support be removed with grill and headlight bezels still attached and remove as one assembly or do all of the parts need to be removed individually?

No, you need to remove all said parts to access the bolts

Almost, but not quite. The stone guard below the bumper connects to the fender. Beyond that it may be possible, but not really worth it. But take lots of pics where things go and especially where the screws go.

Shucks! Thank you for the info I started removing the bolts for the core support and labeling them just to get ready but i didn't have a drain pan handy to disconnect the radiator but I was being optimistic because the whole thing was loose but just seemed too good to be true so I thought i would ask seeing as I had the down time. but at last there is plenty of beer on hand to get me through the process, which is probably a bad idea given thr intricacies lol. Good thing ibhave a camera.
