The radiator support does unbolt as one piece but is not easy to remove without taking the front clip off. You can see in the picture alot of sheet metal screws and a couple bolts. It's around 10-12 fasteners.
The hoop is spot welded to the uprights on each side in the crease underside. You can see then in the picture. I assume he just completely drilled them out. You can use a spot weld cutter then weld back as well. It'll be closer to original that way than bolts. If you weld on car just be sure to cover everything to protect the paint, chrome, etc.
ps:Site needs to organize some of this info, because I went thru the same discussion last year and this info should be all in one spot "pulling engines" to not reinvent the wheel each time.
