So I got the driver side done.. now im doing the passenger side and I gotta a little problem....My question is:

1) Can I change the motor mount one this side without having to disconnect the A/C Lines to the compressor? Can I just unbolt the bracket push it foward a little without having to break the system??

Yes, you can just unbolt the bracket and push it forward without disconnecting the lines. It's a royal pain though. Take your time, you'll get it done

I agree 100%. If you want a detailed thread of removal and reinstallation, this one here is really good. Good luck.

Yeah just slide the ac compressor forward. I removed the starter also on that side for more room.

Awesome guys thanks for the info.. One quick question tho.. When you have the new poly mount in the clamshell does it have about a 1/8 in. of gap or does you're guys sit flush with the clamshells?

Cuz I have mine in but there's that little gap and I called poly and they said they didn't know if there should be a gap or sit flush with the clamshells??? Anyone know??? I can take pics if you need them..

If you would post a picture that would be wonderful. I'm not really sure what "gap" you should have. By the sound of it, I don't think it should be there. Like a said, if you post a pic, then we could get a good look at it.

if you look at the pic you can see one side of the mount sits flush and the other is almost all the way in..!! Do I just need to press it in more?? So the other side can sit flush..

If you have the headers off do you still need to remove all the A/C stuff?

Once you bolt the clamshell back together, it will seat the mount in the bracket perfectly.

i agree, those polys are really tight fits. thats what you want though.

Yeah, you should. Its much easier with the A/C outta the way to get to the clamshell bolts as well as reinstalling the long motor mount bolt.

Agreed. When I did mine, I tightened the bolts corner to corner a little at a time. That way you sorta allow the bushing to gradually work into place. Maybe overkill, but it worked pretty well for me.

Yeah thanks fellas.... I just need to use the bolts from the kit and it seated perfectly now...!!
