The hardest thing for me was figuring out how to get the cam to clear everything in the way. Obviously, you'll need to removed the radiator and with the A/C lines still connected (so you do not have t deplete your A/C system) swing the condensor out of the way and tie it up to the hood somehow. The lines will flex enough to make tis possible but you still need to exercise caution. Before you start try to find a bolt about 3" long that will thread into the end of the cam and provide you with a handle while installing it in the last few inches. Take your time and use plenty of cam lube. Slop it on all the lobes and bearings and be very careful not to get overly anxious and nick a bearing. Good luck!
