Personally that's the way I would normally do it, bit since he's swapping the whole enchilada, it'll be easier to get everything set where he needs it the first time.
Pulling the engine I did do it separately but installing them it will be easier to marry the tans and engine out side of the truck than under it with out the transfer case off course
I'll be watching this. Awesome idea! I have a couple friends that think along the same lines, though they are bricknose fans and wanted to attempt a similar swap. Best of luck and I sincerely hope this ends up working as well as it sounds.
They make a tool that clamps around the line and slides inside the larger fitting to release the lines. Sounds easy right? It usually isn't that easy for me and I've never even seen one that's rusty like yours. First I'd take air and try to blow as much of that crap out as possible. Then I'd squirt some WD-40 or your favorite penetrating oil inside there. It seems to help for me. Sometimes trying to pull the two lines together (front line backwards, rear line forwards) while you're holding the tool inside helps.
the way they designed the lever operation is not very good. I had a 97 f350 with a stuck 4x4 lever. you have to move it up and down to change gears and that's the part that stops working. if I recall there is a little tab you can cut off so you can just pull and push it to change gears.
