It is tied to the inner fender shirts..... You have to drill out all the spot welds to remove the support... similer to this below..

Pull the transmission..... Then pull the engine out..... Fill all hole unused hole.. Repair any front suspension needing repair... Scrub... Degrease... Wash... Dry... Tape off area not to be painted... Use a good primer.... Paint to you liking... Let first coat completely dry.... Then complete with finish coating.....
Take lots of pictures..... Keep us posted..... Good Luck......

Geez...... I was just talking about cutting out and welding in the new core support, you can spend a 100 hrs + on an engine compartment.
