All I can say is, welcome to the SC club. It would be recommended to have a place with a hoist, and I will tell you from personal experience, removing the subframe makes the job a heck of a lot easier, but......., it doesn't have to be removed. Saying that, expect to take at least 3 days or longer, of constant work to get it installed, not the 14 hours (BS) that Vortech claimed. I can see 14 hours, when the engine is sitting on an engine stand, and the engine is not equipped with A/C lines.
