I would take off your steering pump and pulleys to give some extra room. Also, borrow or buy a motor lift plate (bolts to carb flange). When you raise the back of the car the front will drop and make it easier to clear that fresh paint on the nose of your car.

Oh, the pulleys and pump are off. I did put on the front A/C brackets on there as they don't seem to be in the way. I'm afraid of using a carb lift plate on this older aluminum intake- I'm not sure if the bolt holes are strong enough to support the engine.

I am looking to see if I can borrow one of those tilting engine harnesses. My friend may have one.

Thanks for the replys. I do agree it probably would have been easier to go in from the bottom, but I really don't want to take the front suspension apart again.
