What do I leave off to put engine back in

[89mulletbird]

Assembling my engine on a stand right now, what parts do I need to leave off besides the coil pack to put it back in? (headers, fan, TB, ...) Thanks!

I left coil pack, crossover, fan, starter, downpipe off and I think that was it actually ... plenty of room when you drop it back in place.

Oh and I also left the wire harness off.

I couldn't figure out how to get the wiring harness disconnect from the car. There was part of it near the firewall I could not disconnect from the car I think?

Aha, that bulk connector got like a stud in the center of it holding it in place. I normally use a flexible 7mm head extension to unscrew that stud ... take a close look in the middle of it and you see what I'm on about.

im actually done assembling it on the stand and its ready to go in, as jan said coil pack, crossover, starter should be about it.

Sweet. I have a mini-starter so I think I can leave it on, didn't cause any issues while pulling the motor.
