Best course of action for installing all these.......
Ive got a laundry list of stuff ill be installing on my 03 Mach. I am trying to figure out the best way to install all this stuff. Pull the engine? Drop the engine and cradle? Ill also take suggestions on parts and other stuff to do.

Is it easier to pull the engine from the top or drop it out the bottom? I think im going to go with UPR K member as well.

If I had a lift, I would go out the bottom. No lift: might as well go out the top. I pulled mine out with transmission and long tubes still attached through the top. That way you don't have to remove the AC system, etc.

Re: Best course of action for installing all these.......
I havent messed with mine but several people have told me you can finangle the compressor around and hang it off the ABS module brackets or the pass side frame rail.
doing all that, Id definitely pull it (or drop it). Im dropping mine out the bottom at home, I can give an update on how that goes next weekend (just using an engine hoist, jack stands, jack and wheel dollies)
