Saab 97X 5.3 to LQ9 swap

hopfully the wd40 will loosen the rust.
observing the Pass side of engine the airbox covers alot so doe's the AC stuff. I hope this isn't a knuckel buster.
how to turn off rear windshield wiper?

update completed AFM lifter replacement basiclley shes stock and purring like a kitten.
been cruising around backyard and once around block.
First observation the trans shifts very hard from 1st to 2nd also 2nd to 3rd
I actually grabbed the driveshaft and was able to twist it maybe because the U-jionts are worn out? Driveshaft should not be able to move/twist correct even when wheels have no weight on them. Worn driveshaft will cause jerking when shifting?
Completed the air bag to conventional spring and new shocks the 97x is up there
Havn’t mearsured yet but estimate receivers ball around 22” way more than the van.
97x feels stronge when accelerating if I drop trans fuild pan will a shift kit be identified?
thanks
