More work last night.
Ended up picking up a trans jack - just a basic one from Harbor Freight. Worked great
Trans strapped in and ready to go under the car:
Up in the tunnel and mated to the motor:
Removing the auto sub frame supports:
Sub frame ready to go in:
Holding the subframe up with a couple of jacks:
Bolted in and torqued to spec:
After getting it installed I was able to get the slave cylinder installed and hooked up, then I bled the brakes and clutch with some new Pentosin Super Dot 4 fluid. Clutch feels really smooth!

Mike is deceptively mechanical, and humble about this jedi wrenching.

Power steering rack. I'm limping it along until I finish up the swap. Maybe I'll replace it next summer, dunno. Needs a control arm replacement first.
