Removing engine tin before drop
 

0n my ‘89 3.2 I’m about to attempt my first drop for this car, which I plan to do (with gearbox) between the ramps of my 4 post lift on to a hydraulic lift table. I understand I will need to remove the engine tin and exhaust to make it fit between the ramps. But since every drop I see seems to include tin, I’m wondering how difficult it is to remove tin before the drop?
Thanks for any guidance,
Gavin

It is MUCH easier to remove the tin after the motor is out.

Replacing the tin with the motor in is a real PIA.

I'm sure those who have dropped motors with a 4 post lift will chime in.

Just some screws except the left front with flywheel sensors and 2 bolts coming down
Basically just busy work and a time consumer.

Ok thanks- not preferable, but doable ... is what I hear. I will give it a try.
