The radiator can be removed without all that work.

Remove the hood (two person job).

Affix heavy cardboard cut to fit over the fins.

Remove the fan and water pump.

Tilt the radiator back and remove from the car.

You can use a sturdy rope over a strong beam. I used an overhead gantry crane.

While out you can rod and flush the water distribution tube as well. No real need to remove it from the motor.
