5.3L with nv4500

[Aruba1]

Two weeks ago I purchase an older boxed type S10 with a LQ4 engine and a TH350. Last weekend I got it running with a Walbro 255 pump and a Corvette fuel filter with the return line plumbed back to the tank. The engine runs great even with the air filter not in place (no room to hook it up in the S10).

The engine/gearbox will go in bolter together. Since I will be doing some fabrication and the motor/tranny will be in and out of the truck a few times (test fitting and modifying the low hump tunnel), should I remove the radiator support to gain better access to maneuver? Do I need to remove the fenders as well?

I've built a ton of V8 S trucks and I always removed the whole front to do it . I got to the point if I was changing plugs I'd pull the front. Jim
