Is the rack in the way?

[lizirbydavis@cs.com]

Can I insall the engine with the steering rack in place?  I know that the 
manuals say the rack should be moved forward, but I didn't have any trouble 
getting the motor out with the rack in place.  I need to install the rack at 
least temporarily so I can move the car around.  Also, When I removed the 
wishbone brackets from the frame, there were NO shims in place.  What is 
usually needed on an unmolested chasis?  I know that this will need to be 
finalized once the motor is back in the car
