i would bolt it to the transmission mounts first, helps alot when marking the holes where to drill and have another person helping you.

I used the poly mounts from s10v8.com

Looks good, I'll be swapping in a 5.3 in my 95 s10 here within the next couple months...

What headers are those? Car Shop shorties?
Were you able to buy just the tranny cross member seperate? and how much did it set you back?

Headers i got were from s10v8.com They have a coating on them and it was around 350 i think??
The trans cross member was 250 after adding the bushing for it. Yes you can order it seperatly.

Exhaust is Dual 2.5inch pipe down to magnaflow CATS to an H pipe and then out 2 flowmaster mufflers (yes i know flowmaster but it sounds good )
The Driver side pipe crosses after the CAT under the end of the transmission where the driveshaft hooks up. A shop did the exhaust for me.

No A/C its just more money and it never worked good with my old engine so i never used it. Used to it
