A difficult task for sure... there are several other members that have posted about the process so I would advise to read through threads before beginning.
My '73 kicked my butt several times over during the ordeal.
Good luck

Remove hood and engine fan and radiator hoses and radiator to support and/or shroud brackets.
remove two radiator support bolts on each side in both wheel wells.
loosen but do not remove radiator support bolts on bottom of support.
remove front radiator support brace if it has one.
tilt radiator with shroud and support forward and remove shroud and radiator from support.
