It was a 360 and yes, the condenser was still connected and rotated upwards
and held up by bungee cords. The intake and timing cover came off after
fighting the removal of the balancer. I bought a gear puller and modified it
to grab sideways to pull off the balancer, then I asked the mailman for a
handful of rubber bands and used them to hold up the roller lifters while
sliding out the stock cam. The most time consuming part was getting the
radiator/condenser parts out of the way and pulling the balancer. I am
ordering a cam for the V-6 that is very similar to those specs for a friends
V-6 which should give more room to work with.
