1999 Chevy Corvette

After removing the intake, plug wires, vacuum hoses, alternator, coil packs, oil dipstick, and fuel lines to prep the LS1 for liberation, all that's left is the exhaust system before the front cradle can be dropped down. The shocks need to be unbolted at the lower A-arm, and the upper A-arm needs to be unbolted from the frame while paying close attention to the number of washers on each to ensure proper alignment during reassembly. The driver-side caliper is left on the car and tied out of the way, while on the passenger side the brake line is disconnected at the ABS module (since it threads through the cradle) and the caliper stays on the rotor.
