OH, one more important thing. If I had to do this over again and I was by myself, 100% I would have put a 2x4 under the new IC, centered my floor jack on it and used the jack to evenly apply pressure to the IC so that it went in straight. This is such a tight fit I don't think to put one side in first works. It makes it too wide and hence I had to trim that mount a tad. There is another review DIY thread going on right now and that guy was by himself and had the same issue... I bet if you went straight up you'd be good to go - only issue there is you have to deal with getting the inlet/outlet flanges clearing everything simultaneously vs. one at a time.
