Can you remove a standard XE inlet from a nova bay without dropping the engine out? Bulkhead is still present.
Just looks like there isn't enough room.

1. Clutch cable bulkhead hole thingy not bent far enough down so cable angle is very tight.
2. Errr, can't get a fag paper between the alternator and the chassis leg....<awaits flaming>

Rad can go through the front between the slam and crossmember.

Hendrix is that the orange one? D'oh, wasn't that nicely painted in the bay?

Heat the paint up in that area and use a bit of cloth, I doubt your do it without cracking the paint but maybe worth a try?
