I do it the same way with a 32 - it is not hard to 'align' the front radiator, grille and hood as about the only real adjustment (other than maybe some spacers/shims under the radiator mount tabs) - is the length of the radiator support rods. I always loosen then the same way, and assemble them in the same location (left/right) - such that I can put them back, snug up the nuts and everything is extremely closely aligned with how it originally came apart.
