Question Remove front clip

some pictures …

Steering I already sealed
Power steering pump rebuilded
Lower / upper Control arms new bushings / ball joins and painted ..
so now it’s the way for a good detail result ..
Ok, my question is how hard is it to R&R the front clip?
Any helpful suggestions on the process?
I have a 66 Catalina I would link to do this to this spring.
I need to take both fenders off, left side to weld a bracket, and the right side to do a new heater core.
Thanks, Ron
