Just did this yesterday:
2 near the grill
2 in engine compartment (connecting inner fenders)
2 in passenger compartment near feet/pedals
2 in passenger compartment door area
2 in passenger compartment rear deck
2 on front edge of rear wheel well
2 in trunk
although I heated them, the two near the feet/pedal area snapped on me. The
rest came out clean. I was able to free the body from the frame by myself,
but we're having a lifting party tomorrow.
In addition, these must be removed:
chassis wiring harness
emergency brake
(any cables/hoses connecting body to engine, tranny, or frame--including all
brake, clutch, fuel, accelerator, heater core, etc.) Some of the cables only
have to be unclipped from the body--they don't all have to be removed.
I took off the intake manifold because I left the engine for now. Not much
to lift over the rest of the engine.
I'm sure I'm forgetting something since I've been taking it apart for a few
months, but that's most of it.
