Make sure that the contact faces on the ball joints and link arms are clean.
Twist the engine block heater (option) into position. Check that the air conditioning (A/C) compressor is correctly positioned.
Check that the tie rod is in the correct position. Check that the transmission cable is routed between the steering shaft and the firewall.
Align the steering shaft joint with the hole in the firewall.
Lift the engine and transmission unit up to the frame members.
Make sure that no hoses, wiring, or anything else catches.
