Removing the body from the frame - question

[Polishmeatballpizza]

You guys think this is just a plug for air conditioning lines? The washers below the heater core inlet/outlet.

Yes. Did your car ever have an under dash AC unit?
Since those were not factory installed, the holes could be anywhere in that general vicinity.

It didn't have one when I got it.

Are all these mounting points accessed from the bottom?
And,  do some of these have rubber plugs? If so,  how do you get them out?

All of the body mount bolts are removable from the bottom.  Use the diagram I posted and a bright flashlight, you'll be able to see the bolts.  The bolts go into blind cage nuts, hopefully they turn out without busting the cage nut loose.
Good luck, I'm repairing one cage nut now.

What is this?

What is this?

I think this is position #4, it identifies it as a Plug (PLAIN). Does that mean a bolt doesn't go there?

[Polishmeatballpizza]

This one looks like rubber plug or boot. You guys think there's a bolt under there?

And, where's the balance point for lifting the body? I guess I will need at least two floor Jack's.
I got all the bolts out, except for what looks like a plug at position 4.
Tried jacking it up a little, it's definitely moving up.
Just got to figure out what to do next.

Once it's up in the air, I'll probably use 4x4s across the body, but how to support those 4x4s?
EDIT: I guess I'll use saw horses - Harbor Freight has some for 12.99;  they hold 350# each. That should be enough to support the body, right?

There are 2 sets ( a total of 4 , 2 on each side ) of body mount bushings that don,t have bolts going through them . They are just sandwiched between the frame and the body .
I believe those are the 2 you have pictured .

George,
  Is your car a coupe or convertible?

Convertible.

That's interesting.  Where was your car built? 
On some A body's mount five just above the rear axle is just a rubber bumper of sorts.  On my convertible all 14 positions had bolts in the mounts.

????Did you remove the emergency brake cable???? I ask because I forgot mine.

Sounds like you're ready for lift off.

On my convertible, all 14 body mounts had bolts through them as well.

Get something better than those plastic saw horses, we don't want you to kill yourself!

I've used pallet rack shelving like you see at Home depot. Holds a lot of weight and they are adjustable. There may be a place in your area that sells it used, maybe even a scrap yard or check craigslist.
