Never removed the hood. remove carb and distributor (5 min). Removed radiator (drain it while unbolting headers.) 2 motor mount bolts, and if leaving the tranny in, I had 4 bell housing bolts and 4 torque converter bolts. Left the starter in, All done from start to finish in 45 min.... motor on the ground. See the picture posted ^^^ above?? Not happening in 45 min. That looks terrible, ball joints, steering, brakes, etc, etc,. You can fight torsion bars and brake lines alone for a time, then blead the brakes when done, etc, etc, but he didn't have to remove the air cleaner... LOL
