Starting ripping out all the old KA crap tonight when I got home from work. It's basically a motor with a wiring harness sitting on top of it. Tomorrow morning I am getting up early and going to get the engine hoist and ripping it completely out. Then sliding in the CA! Hopefully it will start by tomorrow evening. Wish me luck!!!!
BTW.... Jon, hit me up, I need to talk to you about those vacuum lines again. My pics were kinda off centered and I didn't get a REAL good shot of them. Thanks guys!

It's all out and nice and pretty. The only that that got ugly was the piping from the exhaust to the EGR. It wouldn't clear the steering shaft and I couldn't get it loose, so I busted out the dremel. But its all in one piece all ready for ya.
Also.... Doesn't look like I can use the CA AC compressor. Only the High Pressure line fits, the low pressure line, the fitting is too big to fit into the compressor. I am going to take off the KA compressor and see if it lines up with the CA bracket. Also, if I want to keep the power steering, it looks like the AC may have to be ditched, the lines are all goofy and have to be routed around.
Also.... when I change over the wiring... do I rewire the car side of the harness or the motor side of the harness?
