Hood and front end removal: what to watch for?

[In The Ten Ring]

I have decided to remove my front end. I have the bushings under the radiator core support coming up and since I have to replace my core support, passenger inner fender, and battery tray anyway, as well as I have a very rusty passenger outer fender-----it'll be an opportune time to get all that done at once. (NOS outer fender waiting).

I've ordered a whole front end hardware kit from Classic Industries (thanks Wrecked Chevy) and I plan to take pics of everything and label stuff as well.....what do I need to watch out for?

Also, I assume it's better to remove the hood from the hinges rather than removing the hinges (and hood) from the fenders.....is that the right way to go?
