Getting ready to say goodbye to the 305

I used this weekend to start prepping for the motor swap as my plans have changed a little.

Since my last update, I've been busy:
-Ordered Swaptech adjustable motor plate adapters
-Disassembled the front end - radiator/condenser, front grill, what was left of my battery tray (and added the need for a new RF inner fender), etc.
-Drained all the fluids. Didn't even take it for one last run, I won't miss this motor
-Disconnected the driveshaft
-Undid the exhaust, transmission mounts, what little wiring there was to the engine
-Put a deposit down on my 5.3 and 4L60E. I will be pulling the wiring harness from the truck (an '00 Silverado) before the yard pulls the motor out in the next couple days

Here she is, getting ready to say goodbye to the 305...
