you have to take the brake booster off.... have fun make sure you remember how it goes back together and take it off slow cause the spring and rod will come flying out. You might have to take the clutch cable off too (that would be the black cable you speak off). not a fun job

there is two hard brake lines under the booster that you will have to take off with a line wrench then use a long extension and swivel to remove the bolts holding the booster to the firewall.

I have mine coated, you can remove the driver's without removing the brake booster. I found it much easier to loosen the motor mount and jack under the oil pan. It will rotate the motor just enough to get it off. It is a lot less work than taking off the brake booster

The entire motor and wiring harness was all installed. I didn't jack directly on the oil pan, I used a block of wood and everything was fine. You only have to raise it about 1 inch or so. I have done this 2 times and never had a problem with it.
