Your talking about the engine breather cover?
Thats a tough one. Did you install the engine?
If so do a partial drop. Or you could loosen the intakes and lift t up to slip the hose on and clamp it from underneath the air box. (not recommended as you will probably have an ass-load of air leaks when your done.)
Partial Drop:
You don't need to unhook the shift coupler. Unhook the battery and drain the oil, disconnect the lower oil line to cooler. Disconnect the 14 pin rear engine connector.
Put a jack under the engine (phone book or wood to protect the engine) and back the two engine mount bolts out evenly, then slowly lower the engine a few inches checking to make sure nothing is binding or pulling and that the engine is lowering evenly.
It is a good idea to put a couple of tires under the heat exchangers just in case something goes wrong, the engine wont fall to the floor and break.
Once you have it a couple of inches lowered and everything looks clear lower it about 6-9 inches.
