I just replaced the upper and lower cowl about a year ago... Your going to need a lot of patience for this one. There's about a million spot welds to be removed. A spot weld drill bit is the first thing you should buy. Windshield needs to be removed. Fenders removed as well. I'll upload some pics for you when I have a chance.

Oh man thanks a lot. Yeah I'm gonna start disassembling the fenders and hood right away. It's my final step and will be ready for paint after this

Fender aprons have to come off as well. Hard to see in the pics. You might want to take measurements of where your current cowl sits so you'll have a reference for when you install your new cowl. I marked center point and distance from cowl to roof line.
