DISCONNECTING THE ENGINE & TRANSMISSION

We spent most of the day preparing the engine and transmission for removal.  All electrical lines and water lines were disconnected.  The heater core, windshield wiper motor and transmission tunnel were removed and the sheet metal heater box was sandblasted in preparation for refinishing.  

I appreciate the manner in which the transmission and engine are mounted in this car.  The mounts and universal joints can easily be disconnected from above.  Even the speedometer cable can be removed easily
We are on schedule for removing the engine and transmission on Monday.
