You also want to remove the alternator adapter, take off the rear lower grill and lower shrouds, and support the engine and remove the engine mount and bracket.  Then pull the balancer or pulley and remove the damper door housings.  I think the oil cooler can stay on, but if the passages are really dirty you may wish to take it off for cleaning.  At that point just take off the bolts and pull the cover off.
