I always take a hood off when im doing motor swaps, so much easier.

Get an easy out. Also depending on which bolt you might just be able to leave it in there and youll be fine.

**** ive done and helped on over a dozen honda swaps and never taken the hood off, they have the ability to go completley vertical.
