the rear of the car.
Unbolt stock H-pipe from collectors and remove the H-pipe from the car.
Remove the bolts from the top and bottom of the steering shaft and remove the
shaft.
The maximum amount of working space is increased by removing the motor
mounts from the engine by removing the nuts that secure the mounts to the

wood, then removing the fasteners that attach the mounts to the engine block.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIFT THE ENGINE BY JACKING UNDER THE OIL PAN!

easiest to access while working from under the hood)

hardware.
