Default stall/motor mounts install, drop k or no :x

fellas fellas, the klab tradition of doing something to the Z at the end of the spring semester has come. I picked up a "lightly used" Yank SS3600 stall converter over the winter and planning to install it in the upcoming week(s). I have a buddy who is down to help me drop the trans at his shop using his lift, while I'm in there I'm thinking its a good idea to put some poly motor mounts in and tranny mount (I know I should have done this when I was putting the LT's in...) I dont really want to take the headers out all over again. Do you think they can be done with the car in the air jacking the motor up with the headers still in or impossibru?

So I guess my other option is to just drop the whole dam k frame to do the stall and mounts and anything else that I wanna do (fix all the LT1 leaks)

What do you think I should do? I've never dropped a motor in these cars so kind of iffy on that. I guess just unplug everything and separate the front calipers, disconnect the AC. Would that be easier because or just do it under the lift?
