you may be able to put a board across the fenders/frame and use a ratchet strap to pull the engine/trans upward (w/ assist from jack, maybe?) to pull the subframe. I installed a transmission into my 95 Grand Prix using this method while the subframe (much larger) was dropped.

Other than that I don't have much to offer, sorry :(

I got it. Another how to post I would like to make. I'll post pix from my workstation later, but the solution in involved using a fender mounted hoist that didn't have enough space to lift high enough and removing the bolts from the right side and front engine mount bolts, then loosening the two front crossmember bolts that go into the core support. Still wasn't enough until I got the floor jack and a 4x4 block to jack on the A/C compressor mount casting.

Oh, if you are ever doing one of these, buy your own tube of RTV to go along with the two tiny tubes provided inthe Fel-pro set.

Pix tomorrow maybe
