    You'll need to remove the overflow bottle and radiator flexible hoses in the bay. You also have to cut off the two side engine mounts and the battery tray.

    It took me quite some time to cut those off. Mostly because a good original AW11 in Australia is worth about $9000, unlike the bargains you guys in the UK and US seem to be able to pick up.
