Default 94 Civic Hatch - replacing complete subframe

Is this difficult?

I'm working on getting the car ready for inspection, I've got bad axles, bad maual rack, bad ball joints/shocks/etc.

Car has been neglected. I was able to pickup a full suspension drop out w/all the pieces bolted to the subframe/crossbrace/whatever.

Would it be easier to bolt it up as one piece, or should I pull the good parts off and just replace them separately?

Thanks in advance.

Leave the rack and tie rod ends bolted to the subframe, but pull the shocks off and do them separately. As long as the bolts come out that hold the subframe on it's not a hard swap.

Oh ok, that way as long as the rack/tie rods are on there, it wouldn't need aligned assuming it was aligned correctly before.

I was thinking about that too.

The motor is in the ccar still, and I have to get the axles out as well.
