It was incredible to me when I agreed to work on one for a friend, that I had to take out the complete intake and exhaust manifolds to get the starter out! I think it was the starter. But then the Chevvy Chevette was another one: If you didn't have special tools, you couldn't get to the brake master cylinder or power booster without removing the intake and I don't remember what else.
