Default Replacing Radiator In A 91 LX Hatchback

Will I need to pull the fan and fan clutch in order to get the radiator out, or can I leave them in. I am trying to estimate how long this will take me to do. I have done radiators, but on 60's and 70's Chevys, there's a lot more room to work in those.

Thanks, I am doing the radiator and headlights on Sunday, hopefully all goes well. I am hoping the headlights will be easier once the radiator is out, I bought the 6 piece headlight set from ebay.

Head lights are a breeze, make sure you get some silicone around the edges fight the yellow fog
