C2 body drops are easy enough. Can't think of anything that has to be in/on the body prior to drop. Leave the exhaust panel off the rear of the body to allow for exhaust to clear. Leave the fan shroud off IMO.

I believe you've got it covered with the items you mentioned. Radiator shroud should be able to be in place. Is the drive train already installed on the chassis?

MAY have fan to shroud interference if shroud is installed. I would remove the fan from the engine to allow clearance and leave the shroud in place.

Default Before body drop

I would also install the fiber insulation piece on the body tunnel above the transmission
