Following that video (granted its for a '69 mines a '75) I have disconnected the steering box, disconnected any ground straps, and disconnected the 4 bolts on the passenger side frame that would appear to hold the front clip. I have loosened the body mounts and loosened the bolts holding the front clip on the far side as well.
When I go to lift the body with the jack, the rear appears to be lifting without issue. Mounts 4 and 3 come clear out. However, it's obvious the something is still holding the bumper to the frame. The piece of frame that's resting on my passenger front jack stand is lifting with the body, and the frame that's being supported up front (big tubular cross-member) is also leaving the support.
In the video, he mentions a bolt behind the front grille that I haven't been able to locate on my '75. Can you all think of additional areas the body may be connected to the frame on the front of a 1975 coupe? On the passenger side (the side I'm working to lift) I have disconnected these 4 bolts (there's a 4th underneath the front arm). On the driver's side, I have loosened those bolts.

I removed the bumper bracket extensions that you show and also the vacuum tank to core support bolts in the front when I lifted my 75. Don't forget the brake lines from the master cylinder to the brake equalizer valve.
