Lowering K member and installing motor mounts in a garage w/ jacks does not = fun
I'm glad I replaced my battery before it did that...I have heard way too many stories about that happening.
I also noticed that your power steering pump looks like it is on its way out...mine was leaking just like that, and I just went ahead and replaced it with a Turn One pump. No leaks for me

Looks great... as for the power steering issue, that's normal. It's called boiling power steering fluid which is typical of f-bodies without power steering coolers.
You have a couple inexpensive choices to fix the issue. Go with a higher boiling point power steering fluid, I think RedLine makes a good one, second, get an inexpensive plate cooler to mount on the front on the air conditioning condensor. You can get one for less than $50 from Summit or Jegs.
Again nice job on cleaning up the engine bay.

Not a whole lot. The biggest change I saw with the mounts is that 1. the motor doesn't shake all over the engine bay now (torquer v.2) 2. when I let the clutch out now, it's much smoother. When I let it out before the motor would tweak and then the clutch would put the power to the wheels. 3. when a rev on idiot GT drivers (that think they've got the fastest car on the street for some reason), the whole car twists a little. I couldn't be happier. Like I said earlier. Good project to schedule when you've got more time than money.
