I love your format. You fast forward all the bs turning wrenches and just showed me what i needed to do to get my front clip out. I can do it, I just like seeing what needs to be done first so I can judge if going straight out with engine and trans is easier than going up and out with just the engine
i did not. with the holley mounts and pan it fit nicely with no cutting required. The AC compressor with the mid mount setup also kept plenty of clearance.
