Heater box removal tips

[Steve Cole]

So the PO installed my heater core upside down. (3/4" line on the bottom) I need to look in there anyway to see what else needs attention so I am going to remove the heater box. I need to know if the box can be removed without disconnecting the hood hinge. I know the inner fender needs to come down. I will be working by myself and I see potential for disaster if I take one side of the hood loose. Any tips to keep me from messing something up? Thanks!
