Hood latch support question

[BorderBronco]

Good evening,

I am trying to remove an old AC condenser from my 74. I am doing everything to keep from pulling radiator. (Don't want to get into the whole refilling and burping). I unbolted the three bolts holding the support to the radiator core support but it feels like it is tack welded to the grill assembly.
Question is the how they are attached? I see the whole replacement assembly on Wild Horses so was curious. I stopped pulling before I bent the grill.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Josh

Hi Josh, it should just come off with the bolts.

Why not just pull off the front grill? It's pretty easy unless the bolts are corroded. I pull mine whenever I do any front-of-the-motor work. It makes things so much easier.

Thanks guys. I was able to get it out this morning. I appreciate the replies and the help.
It didn't even cross my mind about removing the grill. That would have made this easier from the get go. Hahaha.
