well make sure you mark every thing you remove so you know where it all gos when it is time to put it back together i have used masking tape and colored the two ends of each connection with the same colored marker. or colored zip ties workmas well. Removing the hood is not nessary but will make the job easier and get a bentley and a friend to help. best of luck hope all gos well.
