Yep, the oil cooler bracket, remove bolts, let it hang. Subframe, 4 bolts, sit it off to the side on a stand/chair. Jack under the engine, remove the top shock bolt, then take out the fan. Remove the O2 sensor, 4 more nuts on the headers and then rotate it up, counterclockwise. I'm sure there's a couple of other things, but the engine does NOT need to be rotated to get the header off.

You should make a video of this process and post to Youtube.

D_adams..yep. you got it. I worked flat-rate at a new-car dealership for 25 yrs and time was money! If you look at things as assemblies instead of components. Don't disassemble the rear tail to remove!

17 years of working flat rate here.
Soon as corporate hears of a short cut, flat rate goes down.
To all those still in the buiz keep them to yourself.

I think SMOTATE should be a new word.
In fact, I'm adding it to my Firefox dictionary right now.
