Any chance you can remove front hinge bracket bolts?... then raise front of hood enough to get directly at the latch and release or unbolt the latch? or get penetrating oil into latch?
Maybe remove bumper or wheel wells or whatever to get to the hinge bolts.
What is wrong with hood release?
Sometimes I use vice-grips on hood release cable, have a helper standing at the end of the hood. At the same time you pull the release cable, have the helper pop the hood in area of release mechanism with palm of hand, sometimes that works to open hood. If you get it up, lube everything.
Some makes and models, I can remove front grille and reach the release mechanism. Don't know about your vehicle?
I think that the outer cable is loose from the clip. you will have top devise a way of coming up in front of the ac condenser to push the latch sideways as some one pushes down on the bonnet to release the latch
Changing the battery in the remote won't affect the programming, and neither should a dead car battery. I am surprised there is no keyed entry on the driver's door.
My 81 did that, cable has needs replaced under the hood. To open lift up hood on drivers side, slide hand under hood and pull cable where it hooks to latch.
on this car you will have to use a batt connected thru the fuse panle you will need to power the side of the panle with the hood fuse then all you will need to do is open the hood
