Default Removing Crank

I am tearing down an LS1 to send to the machine shop and I am to the point of pulling the crank out. Is there a particular sequence in which I should loosen the main cap bolts and studs? Thanks in advance for all your help guys.

No I have just never messed with aluminum blocks before and I want to make sure not to warp the block. The caps are still bolted on. Do I need take out the bolts and studs in a certain sequence. (ie the ones on the outside first then work my way ing or something like that?)
