Get your car level and properly braced/supported. Get your measurements, and cut off the stuff in the way. If you need to re-use it, drill the welds carefully. If you dont, cut the majority off and then carefully drill the welds to get the last bits off. If you havent done it, It's a very, very big undertaking and there's bound to be parts you can't see that you will need. Welcome to E-body cowls
Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.

I am undertaking a similar endevour in the next few weeks. The inner fenders have to be removed, as will the braces from shock towers to firewall. Then remove the inner fender to firewall pieces (L shaped that run along edge of innerfender). Once the cowl is off and inner fenders out, you can get to all the spot welds around the firewall. And there are a lot of them. There is also a brace from the top of the frame ( I think), but you can get those spot welds from inside the car.
