Hot Rods 1947 Ford Engine removal

I need to remove the original flathead from my 1947 Ford for some overhaul work.
I'm aware of everything I need to disconnect from the engine for removal.
My question is what is necessary to remove from the front end sheetmetal, if anything, for the removal? I've already removed the hood and radiator. Do I need to remove the transmission first or can they come out as an ***embly?

Thanks
Jeff

 

I just pull the hood and radiator/ radiator shroud.

if you want to you can pull the trans with it. Pop the front floor /toe board out and remove the mounts and the clam shells. Clutch linkage etc Should be good to go.

 

Thank you for the helpful guidance.

 

@Tim , to remove hood, is it recommended to unbolt hood from hinges OR unbolt hinges from firewall?
The concern being easily aligning hood when reinstalling.

 

I’ve always pulled the hood off the hinges and left them on the firewall. Never noticed it going back in any different than it was before but came off. There’s not really any adjustment on the hood side of the hinge.
