Bumper cover removal

Thank you for the quick reply, Joe. The reason I asked about removing the front bumper is because I am going to replace the engine with another. I will also replace the CV joints, and clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, etc.

I have removed the screws from the inner fender, also the grill, and lights. I did see what looks like a push type fastener, but it doesn't seem to push/pull out. If removing the bumper with the cover attached is easier, I will gladly do that.

Should I leave the transmission in, or remove it with the engine? Any pointers for removing the engine?

Thanks again,
