If you have a lift it's easier to drop the sub-frame and come out the bottom.

Thanks for the advice, that's exactly how I did it. Many people say that is one of the most difficult engines to swap or work on. Thanks again though.

What's so complicated? Pretty simple car.

Edit. Lol you said 96. In that case it's it's not so much complicated as very different. Especially from other hondas

I guess you're right but as I said before that was my first major project, but I'm sure I'll find out in the future.
