Assistance removing engine
I'm in the process of removing the ls1 from the bottom and I've seen a few guides that say make sure you disconnect all the ground wires before removing so they don't break. But I was only able to find one guide that specifically states removing the 10mm ground below the fuse box on the driver's side. I can't find the specific locations for the other ground straps. Does anyone that's removed the engine from the bottom know where each ground strap is that needs to be disconnected? I don't want to accidentally miss one and snap it off while lifting the body.
Thanks

Thankfully ground straps aren't that expensive and if you haven't already it would probably be a good idea to get a big 3 upgrade kit for your power wires and grounds. I have 2 on mine that I've seen that are visible but I don't know if they're factory or aftermarket. One goes to the fuse box area on the drivers side. Then another behind the A/C condenser on the passenger side.

There's quite a bit of stuff that needs to be disconnected before dropping it out of the car but it's really not that difficult to do.

Thanks everyone. Got everything disconnected but I've noticed on the engine going in, it looks like the hose section of the transmission cooler line was cut. What's the easiest way to re-connect the line. Can I just cut the hose that's still in the car and use clamps to re-install ?
