Yes, but I'm lowering the front subframe so it should all drop together.

Basically from what I can tell I've loosed or removed everything holding the subframe to the car. Heres a list of things:

-Removed bolt holding the steering rack to the steering column (can be seen in the one picture above)
-Removed two bolts holding subframe to drivers side.
-Loosened, but did not remove the two bolts holding the subframe to the passenger side.
-Removed bolts holding drivers side strut to control arm.
-Removed drivers side transmission mount from car (can be seen in picture above)
-Loosened nut to passenger side motor mount so motor has room to move.

I think that about covers it. I haven't unbolted the transmission from the motor yet as I want to make sure the frame will drop enough to pull it out. I also have not removed the drivers side axle.
