Hi, Carl.



Trying to remember when I did it.B  Yes on the brakelines,B engine, fuel pump,
oil pump, radiator, tranny, driveline (grease everything first), fan, exhaust
and intake manifold.B  No on the carbs; though these might be done, it could
be a tighter fit than you want to hassle with.B  If your floors are in, I'd
wait on the emergency brake too.



I'd also wait to put the battery in, until you have a batter tray ,<G>



Congratulations!
