William (cc: Vanagon list),

Yes, I removed the muffler supports, so all that remains is the engine mount.
The strap that's integral to the S&S muffler went on the lower passenger side
bolt hole (there are 2 straps on the 2.1L motor...not sure if we're talking
abou the 1.9 or 2.1 here...).  It lined up pretty much perfectly.

Don't forget you have to reuse the catalytic converter.  If you don't, the
spacing is all wrong.  Besides, there's no place to put the OXS then.

If you still have trouble visualizing, I can go out tomorrow and take a digital
pic and send it to you.

Regards,

-Karl
