[Shotimes] am I being taken advantage of

[cmichaelo@optonline.net]

I don't have an ATX. But for what it's worth, I did remove the a/c clutch unit about a year ago.

It wasn't easy, took maybe 3-4 hours.  But I also take my time and lube and rust proof everything I bump into.  I did not have to drop the subframe.
