Interesting. I was always taught the correct order was:
1. Remove fasteners from hood ornament and attach to hoist.
2. Raise hood ornament and drive new car underneath.
3. Lower hood ornament and reinstall fasteners.

There are a few pieces on these cars that everything else seems to have been built around:
- heater core
- rear body mount nut retainer on a convertible (the second part on the assembly line was the reinforcement plate)
- speedo and tach light bulbs. (Followed immediately by the light switch)
Im sure there are many others.

Just removed radiator on a big block:
Hood first, then alternator, fan, upper hose, brackets, shroud, core support, radiator, the lower heater hose came out last!
Whew!
