    You're doing amazing work Austin and watching this series I realize two things. One, I can see why so few (if any) attempt this swap in the 1st gen Tacoma. It's a lot of work. And two, I can see an opportunity for you to design a kit to make this a much easier job for others, especially for those without your skill level. When I saw the motor mounts being built was when I finally said to myself there's no way I would do this swap- even though I need it. Even though I know it take a lot of time to film your work, you should have made a copy of all those custom parts and then work with a machine shop to produce them in bulk. There are 100's of thousands of these first gens with the 2.4/2.7 that need this kind of power but want to achieve better fuel mileage.

    A new receiver/dryer is a good idea. Don't install the new one until everything with the A/C is back together for the final time, otherwise if it's left open it will absorb moisture from the open connection. While you're at it, install all new o-rings so you don't have to worry about leaks.

    I did the manual swap on my 02 4 door and there was only about 1/2"- 3/4" space between the trans and floor pan. It's tight enough that it's a real pain to get tool in there to do anything. Keep up the great work!

    I spent decades cutting Aluminum....it cuts easy...any Carbide blade in a tablesaw/radial arm saw / miter saw will cut it like butter...use a blade with lots of teeth ( 60+ minimum 80 + is better ) some cutting fluid or grease stick for alloys helps keep it cool and prolongs the blade....you can cut Aluminum on bandsaws and use Routers ( hand held ) or jigsaws....
    Clamp the piece in chopsaws as it grabs ( safety )....watch for chips so wear eye protection ... It is easier to cut than steel..and Holesaws go through it easily....

    You should check if so little room between radiator and condensor is not going to mess up the flow and thus the cooling efficiëncy. Not saying it will but just to be sure.
