also be spending some time in the Jacques Cousteau position changing
the heater core and control panel. You might, or might not, also need
to beef up the cooling system.
Well, I've said dumber things before my second cup of coffee. Since
the recipient vehicle is the one that presently has A/C, you've got
the dash controls, heater core, radiator, etc. made for it.
Whoever brought up the possibility that you might get the engine out
and leave the A/C unbroken has a good point. This is possible on some
vehicles (the longer the hoses rather than hard tubing, the better;
the more room, the better) and is worth at least visualizing. Doing
this without kinking or snapping anything expensive is where a helper
or two really comes in handy.
As for bracketry etc., it'd be great to have two engine stands so you
can put the old and new engines side by side and see if a lightbulb
comes on; although it's easier to sort out in the car with fore-and-
aft rather than transverse engine layouts. (My old Camry is starting
to leak power steering fluid, and fixing it might involve a trained
octopus or the liquid metal guy from Star Trek or something.)
