None of that has to be removed. As I noted in my first post --- remove the fan clutch from the water pump or remove the screws holding the fan shroud.. If you remove the fan clutch, it remains inside the shroud as the engine is raised.. No need to even loosen any belts.. If you "un-mount" the shroud, it rises with the fan as the engine is raised.. Just watch as you raise the engine, don't let something get snagged or pulled..
