Solved my own problem right after I posted- from under the car, 
there's plenty of room for a 10mm gear-head wrench.  One of those 
right-in-front-of-you deals.

So with everything unbolted including the fan wiring- the shroud 
goes...not very far.  I can move it around a fair bit, push it 
backwards- but that's it. Does the fan motor have to come off?

I also can't get the radiator to move more than a few inches upwards 
(yes, unhooked from the condenser, which has been pushed forward). 
Feels like it is catching on the side duct, among other things.

Any tips?
