| I just spent about 7 hours and still have to button things up. Driver's side was pretty easy because I don't have an AC compressor to fight. I pulled the mount completely out of the car to trim. Loosened the bolts to the block and both sides of the mount. Take the nut off the bottom of the mount and lift the engine a little with a 2x6 on the jack. Take all the bolts out and lift until you can get the mount out. Probably won't be as easy with the AC compressor in the way. Passenger side is CROWDED. Dropped the alternator and weaseled the inlet pipe bolts out with a snap on 1/4 drive wobble and an 18" extension. Outside bolt is actually easier on the Ash Pipe but the toughest thing on both sides is nailing the gasket with the bolt in the pipe's slotted hole. Pipes under the headlights are tough but just work to worm through. Pull the aux fan and loosen the Radiator and Condenser (again one less thing for me to fight) mounts so you can work the pipes out and in. You have to pull the fender liners and carbon canister because there's a mount bracket under the headlight. Stock recirc hoses line right up.
