Wrapping up a couple patches in the battery/hell hole area, getting things ready to mount a new Maddog OEM style engine mount. It looks as though the main wiring harness will interfere with the new engine mount. Is it as simple as moving the harness towards the passenger side an inch or so?

Also, should I remove the /4 crossbar mounts? My gut says yes, get them out of the way

Is cutting a hole in the firewall required to access the fan belt?

TIA to all
