Shouldnt have to do either. There is a disconnect point close to the hinge on the drivers side. Just pull the hood, it will disconnect, and you will see it.
Just took my hood off this weekend..On the drivers side up by the hinge it comes apart if you pull it apart where it takes a 90. Also in order to get the hood struts off you will need to twist them out..
