Ecm Removal
Can anybody tell me if there is an easy way to get the EMC on a 87' convertable
. We are having a heck of a time to reach it and just can't seem to find all the bolts/screws that hold the panels in place. We have tried to use the manuals and not much help there. Thanks wro

and it sounds like a big deal, but ain't--remove the pass seat and track as a unit from the car, lay on the floor with your legs in the luggage space, while you unhook the ecm connectors and push the wires aside that want to stop the ecm from dropping out...don't drop the ecm on your face and don't fall asleep on the floor...gettin the seat out will take 3 minutes after the first time learning curve.

ecm removal part II
Gang thanks for the info 
It was a lot easier for my son(17) But he is is almost 6'. Layed the seat back as far as it would go already had the plastic lower trim piece off. Just took a long extension and socket just a couple of minutes. Now we are just waiting for some extra stuff then will be ready for the guys at PCMforLESS. Thanks for all the info WRO87
