Default 68 vert lifting body preparatation
Quick question. I think I have everything disconnected and all body bolts out to pull body but I am confused on what I need to unbolt where radiator support is. I already removed front bumper brackets, but it looks like I have to take out some bolts where radiator mount is. It is hard to tell since everything was pretty rusty. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

There are 3 bolts on each side of the support insid the wheel wells that need to come out. Then the rad support will stay with the frame.

Is there any disadvantage leaving the radiator support with the frame instead of lifting with the body?

That depends, If you have an AC car then it is better to leave it on the frame because the lines go through indentations on the side of the support. If not then it doesn't really matter.
