Yes, if you mean that you will be detatching the steering link and brake
line as well.

second radiator in the front still in place it's tough to manuever it more
than about 8 inches.<

I just pulled the motor from my '93 NX last month and used a tie-down to
hang the compressor from the hood in its more-or-less stock position.
Remember that you should be pulling the motor/tranny out the bottom.
Has anyone tried detatching the tranny, removing it via the bottom and
taking the motor out the top?

I wouldn't reccomend it if you are going to use the drop method, you would
really have to lift the car up really high to slide the motor out through
the wheel arch with both of the manifolds on

Due to the above concerns and the chance of your 500 lb. motor/tranny combo
crushing the secondary, I wouldn't.  The secondary is too easy to
remove/install not to.

Hmmm, mine was removed, but you should be able to leave it on.
