"My initial thoughts are to remove the hood, radiator, water pump, and front piece."

I think that is pretty much to it. I don't know if you can remove the whole front end as one piece? And while you got it apart this would be a good time to pull the water distribution tubes and flush the block. And as I think, somebody else added install a new seal on the crank shaft.
