I just recently pulled the shroud off to clean it a bit. It wasn't as dirty as I'd thought.

Anyway, the FSM has a good write-up. There are bolts along the sides at the bottom edge of the upper shroud. And you remove the top fan bolts. And then down in front of the car, you have to remove these small bolts that connect the front edge of the shroud to some part of the air dam thing. They are a pain. I had to pull the AIR pump inlet off, and move the AIR pump housing way back to do that. There is also one wire connector to unhook while doing this, for the outside air temp sensor. Lastly the radiator vent hose comes off.

Then the shroud just comes off, more or less. You have to finesse the passenger side off, as the a/c and oil cooler lines are in the way. But that's basically it. It's time consuming, but not that hard.

If you were to remove the radiator from there, it would just be a matter of undoing the inlet and outlet hoses, and pulling it out, I believe.
