when unolting the motor mounts, do you unbolt the two smaller bolts that you can see under the headers(headers are off right now), or the large bolt that you can get to under the car? I unbolted the 2 nuts from inside the engine bay and it looks like the motor will slide out over the studs. Also, is there anything UNDER the motor that needs to be disconected or unbolted before i start pullin the motor up?

I would lift the motor just enough to take the load off the long bolts and then slip them out.
Then, I'd do the small bolts.
If the headers are off the car there really is n't much to worry about as you only need to lift the moteo maybe 3/4"........

Just remove the nut on the large bolt thru the crossmember. This will allow the motor to come out. Just pull the motor slowly and if you see something still attached unhook it. There is no way to tell what you already have unhooked and what elce needs removed without seeing it.

ya i guees your right about that lol... but ya i just unbolted the one large bolt from under the car and it was a b*tch. It took all of my strength plus a 3 ft handle lol but i got that bastard off

Yea, they can be a big PITA! Especially if they have never been out before.
