it’s all good. When you work on these things for a living, you know the tricks and buy all the special tools. To help get those bolts out you can add some heat to melt the loctite and make it a lot easier.I saw that when I was looking through that post originally. However I didn't want to order and have to wait for a special tool that'll never get used again for anything else. I only broke one and it was harbor junk. Got a new one for 3 dollars from Home Depot. I ended up stripping out the last bolt on the seat belt reel and taking the cutting wheel to it. All good now!
The brake and gas pedal came out as one sub unit. This "box" holding the clutch pedal is all spot welded in different areas essentially a part of the whole frame.No, you just save the clutch pedal box, no need to cut it up.
*edit* Oooof .... wait. My early-model donor did not look like that. I'm confused.
If you take out the bolt that runs through the middle of the clutch pedal, it should let the small frame piece come loose so you can take it out.Do I need to save the frame from the clutch pedal?
Here’s a nice pic from Ross that shows the small half frameDo I need to save the frame from the clutch pedal? Or do I just remove the clutch pedal? There's no info in the videos about it. It's all welded together so I'm wondering if I need to cut it all free?
Good call. Thank you! Don't know why I waited to remove every nut and bolt before assuming it was all connected. Here are some pictures for future reference of the clutch pedal box assembly.If you take out the bolt that runs through the middle of the clutch pedal, it should let the small frame piece come loose so you can take it out.
I'm limited on space. And I'm trying to keep my woman happy. I'm trying to make it work but every inch of real estate helps.For what its’s worth my advice is to keep everything you can find a place for. Anything that’s obviously not needed discard, but connectors, wiring, bolts, small metal and plastic pieces, etc...find a place to store them. You can always junk them later.

You're doing great man. I was strongly considering getting one of those but it wasn't approved by "management". Ha! I've got about that much empty space with an 8'x4' table right next to it.I understand tight on space.
If you are in an emission county, you’ll need the evap stuff. If you are not in an emission county, you won’t, but Its not a bad idea to keep it though, in case they change the rules on us. They have done it already, so you never know. if you are in an emission county, you’ll also need a cat, but that’s for later.I am 100% done with stripping the donor as far as the videos are concerned. I feel like I have read some things in the past about parts that were needed that weren't included in the videos, but I don't remember what they were. I didn't pull the rear hubs because I ordered the 5x114.3 hubs with my kit. I pulled the parking brake and cables even though my kit is supposed to come with one, because I'm not sure if I'll need any parts from it. Is there anything else that anyone can think of that I may need before I cut this thing up and send it to the scrap yard? Do I need the evap parts to get registered in Texas?
