Meaning that you have already removed the crossmember under the bellhousing or is it there and do you intend to use it? This goes back to the "did I miss a point somewhere and he did something different" thing.
Removing that crossmember without boxing and or reinforcing the frame causes the weight of the cab to push down on the brackets that hold the cab up to the point that the they twist the rails and the cab sags, Major cauise of stock frame hood doesn't fit on trucks that were built several years ago.
