Front Bumper, left fender, and hood replacement!

I am trying to replace my front bumper and fender on my 87 z28. I have removed the hood and the left front fender. I am now trying to remove the front end of the car (the front bumper and left headlight assembly) What is the front bumper connected to, like am I going to have to remove alot of bolts all up in the car because getting the fender off was a pain in the *** for me. I am 17 and this is my first project car and I am just learning about my car and stuff. Please help, I would really like to do it myself if possible but I dont want to get into something I wont be able to do. Any suggestions?

This is a pic of the damage that was on the car when I bought it.

The front bumper fascia is connected to the pan where the hood latch mounts, as well as the front of each fender. I've found that the fender nut-things come out easiest w/ an 11mm socket or wrench. It's nothing too difficult, just takes some time lining things up upon reassembly.

The bolts on mine are 10mm and I had to use a deep socket and a swivel to get to them. It is a real pain in the ***.
