I just went out and measured.....Less than 3" between the crank pulley and the radiator....

I would't even try it personally...you might end up with an engine hanging and half way out and then have to remove the radiator...

If your wiring harness is original style with the ferrule type connectors at the headlights removal should not be that difficult...you can take the headlights and headlight bar off as a unit...
