First, Merry Christmas all.

Going to drop a front subframe out of a junkyard diplomat. My question is...do I need to take off the upper control arms? They look like they tuck up over the frame rails and might hang up. No engine in the car so can I just shimmy it side to side to get it to drop? Or will it clear anyway?

Trying to estimate my time and need for tools. Thanks for any advice.
