Need advice. Remove K frame?

I currently have the engine out of my 72 Duster. The steering column is also out of the car as I’m converting from power to manual steering. I want to paint the engine bay and also paint K frame. Replace strut rod bushings and upgrade the torsion bars. Would it make for an easier job if I were to remove the K member? I’m new to Mopars but this seemed like the way to go? Opinions?? Thanks!
