Default Radiator Removal

On my 75, have drained the radiator and removed the fan. Just looking at my next step and wondering is it possible to remove the radiator without removing the fan shroud?

You almost certainly have to remove the radiator first in order to remove the shroud.

But once the radiator is out, you can remove the shroud in one piece, store it in your attic, and install electric fans.

Perhaps you are watching the wrong videos? At the 5 minute mark, Ben shows how it is done.
