75 roadster assembly question

[Ross F.]

The time is approaching for me to join body and chassis together.
The question is how much of the assembly can I do before the mating? Can I install the front frame extension with the radiator, a/c evaporator and fan shroud? Can I install the fan? How about the rear bumper reinforcement?
When I disassembled the car I removed all these things before the lift. But assembly would be much easier if all that can go on the chassis first.
All input welcome.

Wow. No one has ever dropped a c3 body? I'D like to fire the motor before I put the body on and would like to not take the rad core support etc back off.

Radiator, support, and front bumper brackets with cross member all must be removed before dropping the body. Rear bumper reinforcement should be able to be on. Fan should not be on.
