Re: Front clip removal
the easy way is to unbolt the body bolts on the radiator support on the bottom, the two bolts on top of the fenders by the doors and the ones at the bottom of the fender.. disconnect the A/C and radiator hoses/trans lines unplug the wiring harness and yank it off

Re: Front clip removal
It's super easy and, in my opinion, waaaay worth the tiny bit of extra effort when pulling/installing an engine.
There's six bolts to the cab (three on each side...5/8" iirc), two core support mounts bolted to the frame and that's it. It helps to have a buddy, but it's not necessary. I pulled mine off by myself. Again...well worth the effort and it makes life significantly easier when R/R'ing an engine. Plus, you can really get in there w/ a pressure washer to clean things up with the clip off. I started w/ the clip, but then ended up pulling the cab and bed as well. What can I say? I was on a roll.
