transmission swap

[John S. Lagnese]

Hi,
I'm in the process of trying to change my 5 speed tranny in my 91 200 TQ 
20V. I wasted quite a while trying to take off the exhaust downpipe to no 
avail. I couldn't get a wrench or socket on the nuts ahead of the "y" by the 
exhaust manifold. I just disconnected the cats back. Does this give enough 
room? Anything else I should be careful about or aware of?
Thanks,
John
