Thanks for that pic Chris.

I don't want to be a dumbass and not take everyones advice since I asked for it, but it just seems easier to me to not have to pull any of the engine apart, or wiring up top, or exhaust down below other than disconnecting from the cat.
Remove 6 k-member bolts and trans crossmember and everything just sits there as you lift the body. Obviously all the same hoses, lines, rad have to come out either way.
Someone talk me out of this! lol

I guess maybe the biggest fear I have is scratching the paint on install. This car is being pulled apart for a color change.
