I agree with Husker. Remove the crossmember and the handbrake linkage support. Then buy a bolt in crossmember from Dennis at PPC in Castle Rock, CO. I removed my crossmember with a Dremmel tool and cut off wheels. The engine was already out but you should be able to do it lying on your back under the car. You can probably remove it with a special hack saw also. The handbrake support will probably need removing too. You will need to take the handbrake support and have it modified so that you can bolt it back onto the frame of the car. At least you can drive the car without a handbrake though. Good luck.
