Okay.... I'm going on in! No shop for me!

I started the project and am following the FSM with a bit of common sense improvise. I decided that if I pace myself, I SHOULD have it done by next weekend with a couple of hours a night. It will give me the satisfaction of doing it plus, it allows me to clean cracks and crevices and such. Its that "nobody does it like you do thing..."

First glitch... I have the upper radiator shroud/support all loose, but the bottom mounting bracket on the passenger side is getting hung up on the AC lines and there does not seem to be enough "give" to work around it.

Now, I can't believe that I have to disconnect the AC lines and the oil cooler lines? Stupid engineering! The FSM manual said nothing. What am I over looking?

Any tips?
