...continuing, a few more pictures. I had already removed the fan, shroud, and radiator to work on the A/C system. The shocks are out, next will be the calipers, which I can suspend with wire from the bolts in the shock mount holes from the engine holder stand, and the torsion bar.

On my SL, there are nuts on the ends of what I presume are the bolts for the engine mounts, running up from the subframe, and they look like they hold the cover plates on top of the mounts. Does anyone know if these must come off first, before undoing the mount bolts from underneath? Edit: To answer my own question, these nuts are part of the engine mounting bracket, and are welded to the plate. They are all the big bolt goes into from the bottom.
