Nothing if you have the hands of a 6 yr old, and skin tougher than cowhide, because the A/C pan is sharp as F**k!

Exactly a/c pan and being 6'2 260lbs doesn't make me very agile in a tight space

Swivel head ratchet is a big help too. I would rather do these all day than do #8 on a 98-02ish LS F Body.

I only needed the swivel on number 8 used the short extension on all of them except number 1. Used the long extension on that one.

I've never used a swivel. Just a swivel head ratchet (flex head) and small 1" extension with short plug socket. Never had any issues after the wire is off. Sometimes they get locked on pretty good. So good that I've had many of them come apart and left the connector stuck on the plug. I have done plugs on far more difficult engines/car combos than these. Walk in the park compared to the LS F Bodies, or 3800 w bodies to name a couple.

Yeah, my 98Z and 99 30th T/A presented quite the challenge on #8 and back then I was a scrawny 135 pound kid.

Ordered my

Q-logic factory fit box
Pioneer champion series 10
Pioneer Gm-D8601 amp
Esky Ec170 backup cam
4ga ofc amp kit
LED interior lights
LED amber DRL, Turn, Side marker
LED white reverse
Novita Lm487 flasher relay

Getting Tint done Saturday. I'm thinking 15-20% all the way around.

Needless to say I've got quite a bit of work ahead of me.

Has anyone been able to install all new amped 6.5/6.75s and still keep the factory center console subwoofer working?

If not, I might replace with a seperatly amped 6.5in loud speaker/sub, I like have the extra bit of bass up front and center.

Not sure how much of a difference it is between amped speakers versus woofers but I have 2 12"s and my center console sub still works. However it won't have its own "control" you have to adjust using band 1/2 vs the subwoofer level
