Thank you! I´ll attach all the pictures I have. I´m not with the truck right now, so the exact pics you would like to see have to wait til the last week in May, when I get back to working on the truck.
The cross member is very close to the oil pan. I had to space the engine mounts up to even make it clear. the pics show the first setup, where the transmission mount was a little low, with the new trans-mount, it is up a little higher. Next time I take the engine out, I might notch the cross member a little, just to make sure. Right now I have about 1/4" between the oil pan and the cross member.

If you want A/C you need to move it up to the top passenger side, it will not work on the bottom unless you notch the frame... and I would not do that, jsut my 2cents.
I´m not running A/C yet, so I can´t show you pics with an A/C installed.

here are the pics I have for now...













Hope this helps for now. I´ll take more at the end of May.
