Out comes the automatic transmission!
With the automatic transmission out of the way, and the exhaust system pushed to the outside, there is quite a bit of room under here. The thing that is surprising is how clean the underside of the car really is. There is a fair amount of dirt and grime around the engine compartment, but hardly any from the firewall back. It looks great!
I did have to modify the bracket that held the transmission dipstick tube. I cut the tube from the bracket and bolted the remaing piece back onto the engine. It appears that it holds the wiring away from the exhaust.
The only other thing that I need to check on is the bracket that mounted at the rear of the transmission that held the exhaust pipes at the end of the cats. I don't see a place to mount this on the T-56... have to see later.

Not sure why, but the clutch pedal is about an inch or two higher (closer) than the brake pedal. I'm checking with the manufacturer to see if there is an adjustment to stop the swing back when released.
