Curt,
The only way you can get the radiator out without removing the front apron is
to saw it in half if you can.
I know it is a PITA to remove the apron but there is no easy way to remove the
radiator with the apron on.
If you are lucky and the bolts are not rusted to the caged nuts it only takes
about an hour or so to remove the apron after removing the bumper.
I always loosen all the fender bolts so I can move the front fenders out a bit
for extra clearance.
