Don't envy you, one bit...that is one cramped engine bay...

What car?

Shane has a GS.

A lot easier to get out of a GS 4200 than a Jaguar XKR on your own that's for sure.

No doubt.

My bias is just to cut everything that isn't electrical/electronic (and maybe a handful of things that are...why re-use plug wires at that point?)...new hoses for everybody!

I’d drop the engine complete with the subframe, that’s the way it was built.
not cutting any wires / hoses but carefully disconnecting / labelling everything!
