Installing the rad support with the bushings is an easy one man job IF you use the factory speed nuts or push on retainers, otherwise you feel like you are at least ONE arm short.
FWIW these are called out and illustrated in the AIM, it's just no one puts them in the hardware kits.

I know you haven't seen much of my project in a while. I've bee waiting for the fenders to return from striping. I do work on the car every week day & save the weekends for Sheri & I.
Today I decided to re-install the subframe assy. If you've never install a big block with a/c you would swear they don't fit. First added the tape over the rear frame mount hole is the body.

After about 3 hours of moving the assy around, I finally got it in place & tightened down before removing the body/chassis alignment pins. Mostly have to work by myself because of the virus. There's always somebody here in case I get pinned of something stupid like that...Joe

Just out of curiosity and because 2 yellow Camaro are being restored at the same time, what’s the pros and cons of motor in before fenders vs fenders on.
I’ve not restored a car like this so just wondering? On another note, it sure would be cool to get them together for some photos one day!

Thats exactly how I did my car. (Just like Joe). I had a rolling subframe with complete engine and trans and rolled it to the body. It was easier to install the fuel and brake lines this way too. I hooked all that up and then placed wheel wells and fenders. I thought it went very smooth.
