Default Rack and pinion install?

Anyone done it while the motor is in the car? Is it possible? Any tips or tricks? Any information will be very helpful, thanks in advance.

It sits in front of the motor and i very easy to change out. Pop both TIE Rods off first then loosen both power steering lines, then remove the 2 bolts holding the rack in place. I always lay the old rack on the ground and place the new rack on the ground under it so i can line up the tie rods the best i can befre i install, i also measure it to get it as close as possible before i do the alighnment hope this helps.
