So this past weekend, I did a clutch job on my car. (More like install a pilot bearing because the previous owner jackass left the automatic transmission adapter bushing in instead of installing a pilot bearing). Getting the transmission out wasn't too bad. Getting it back on had me going nuts. So essentially, I loosened the motor mounts, disconnected my catalytic, and jacked my motor up so it would slant downwards to make mating the transmission to the motor easier. Doing so, however, has disconnected a few vacuum lines. http://www.matejblahut.com/gallery/d/249-1/coolantlines2.jpg

Not my car, but just for reference.

I'd just like to know, short of pulling out my motor/trans, is there any other way of getting access to these vacuum lines?

Nah, it's not the heater hoses. I was using that picture as a reference to the vacuum lines that I disconnected. Manifold might give me some room though.

Just went ahead and dropped the transmission again. Everything looks ok now.
