The camshaft? Why would you think you need to remove it first? Maybe you meant the driveshaft which of course does need to be disconnected from the transmission without actually removing it from the car. Anyway, no surprises or tricks but best to remove the front clip of the car first which some people prefer to do as a unit but it's heavy so you'll need help. That includes the radiator and radiator frame but do put some cardboard between the radiator and fan to prevent damage. Disconnect all electrical and linkages, disconnect the front and rear mounts. Once the engine is supported, remove the rear cross member which makes getting it out easier, the pull out the engine and transmission as an assembly. You can remove only the engine but in my experience it's easier to pull it with the transmission attached.

The grille and fenders (NOT bumper) are attached to each other and the frame. If you have 2 friends you can unscrew only about 20 screws and remove the whole thing. Radiator and its support need disconnected or removed first.
Remove the driveshaft. Then loosen the two engine mounts and single transmission mount. Lift 'er on out You will need to remove the hood but do that LAST. Literally right before you pull the engine. Don't close the hood with no support for it to rest on. https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/partslist/viewplate.php?cat=22&PlateNumber=58&partslist=1948-1954
