Because I installed mine in the street I wanted to be super stealth about it so that the neighbors didn't have a fit.

For the couple days before I undid all the bolts I could. I pulled the rad support, radiator, etc. I left the fenders on (by loosening other bolts). I pretty much had everything lined up and ready to go.

Early on Saturday morning I removed the hood and removed the grill that was hanging by a couple of bolts. I had the original motor/tranny out and sitting in the bed of the truck by about 6:30am and everything put away by 7. The neighbors were none the wiser. The rest of that day I spent washing, cleaning and painting the frame. In the evening I mounted up the ECE mounts. Early the next morning I had the 5.3/4l60e installed early and the neighbors were oblivious, also.

Certainly, there were some hang ups that happened but having the rad support off help me line up the motor and tranny mounts a lot easier and quicker...

I also had the rad support off for the 6.0 install and 8.1 install...but then again they were full project vehicles, also.
