Anything I should look out for? I remember reading that I'll need to install the tranny cross member different since i have a manual so the arms reach the right way. This correct?

You'll need some "good" quality cut-off wheels to remove your LCA upper mounts! Unless you use a sawzall. And spray all bolts/nuts and brake line fittings, etc with some PB Blaster!!!

think it would be a good idea to disconnet battery when using the plsma cutter as not to back feed and burn short anything out
