You guys were right. I did take the motor out from the bottom, that's the way to go for sure! It took a bit of time also just because it was my first time and I was cautious and skeptical haha! I did take the radiator out but I don't think you have to, I wanted to remove all the a/c stuff.

all right fonz. now while you have it out. cut lose the main battery cable off the starter at the battery and put a separate connector on the end then you wont have to **** with the starter next time you'll see it at the batery if its still stock all 3 cables will be there. one for starter,underhood fuse box, and one for alternator. i did this more modular.
