Default Help needed!

Hey guys. So I'm in the middle of removing my engine for the first time, and everything has gone smoothly until now. There is a linkage leading to the driver side of the engine below the exhaust manifold that is connected to another link that leads into the firewall. So, how do I move it out of the way so that I can pull the engine. This is the last thing stopping me, and I'd like to get the engine out today.

Thanks,
~ Colin

Most likely the clutch linkage. Disconnect it at the frame. Look for the bracket and there should be a small nut. A 1/2 inch wrench if my memory is good. Loosen it up and slideit out ofthe bracket. It should the come off the ball stud on the engine.
