Default Update weekend 2....with 2 questions

Ok got the rear bumper cover off, the rear wing, unplugged a few grounds, removed the parking brake, unscrewed the tach wire from the tranny, got the headlights off, and a few others things I can't remember. So it was a good weekend and I can already see that the body won't stay on the frame for long. First question is about the AC condensor. The support is bolted to the body but the bottom is supported by the radiator support. So I was wondering if I should leave it with the frame or with the body. I took a picture in case my explenations aren't clear. My second question is about the heater...I have a coolant hose thats going there, from what I've seen, I need to unplug that hose cause the heater will go off with the body. right? thats it...so here are the pictures...first one is the condensor and the 2nd is my weekly update. I'll throw in links since the pics are very big.

Yeah thanx...pits are the best IMO. I heard that they are now illegal...in canada at least...and only because people were too stupid to use them and injure themselves by falling in or driving the car into the hole (how stupid can you get? :crazy: ) Notice I always put back the 2" boards everytime I'm finished to make sure no one gets hurt.
