No more subframe.

Couple o tricks - don't diconnect the p/s lines from the steering rack. Disconnect the low presure return at the p/s resevoir, and the high presure feed at the p/s pump by the motor mount. Lines feed right down between engine and firewall and saves messing with tough to reach couplings on the rack.

After you lower the frame about 4-5 inches, go into the driver footwell and yank up on the steering column shaft, it's an easy way to seperate the coupling do-dad.

Just need to pull the axles and drop the tranny now.

Damn, things drag on when you do 1-2 hours of work per night.
