No Kidding! Just one time and the radiator will be toast. Aside from that, it gives so much more working room on the reinstall.
It is only held up by four little bolts and with the hoses already undone.....
For the guy working on the car:
You have to support the ac condenser with some wire but man it is so worth it I think.
Also, it is much easier to disconnect the power steering pump lines and have the pump already bolted/torqued in place before dropping the engine.
Wiring harnes should be taken off now and reinstalled on the engine. Just pop loose the power steering resevoir to get the PCM connector. Take a ten milimeter socket and extension and unbolt it, it will unscrew and come loose. Then there will be about two or three plugs to undo and you'll have the harness off. It is sooooo much easier to plug everything in with the engine on the ground.
