WHy would you have to cut off part of the engine mount?

in order to drop the head on there is a part of the mount that has to be taken off. im not sure if it has to be done but i will be a lot easier with it removed. i know that you cant take the head and exhaust manifold off together with out taking it off.

Yeah, I forgot I read that somewhere.

If you don't cut that part of the engine mount off then you have to remove the alternator and power steering pump everytime you take the head off. Most people are going 85 - 90 ft/lbs with moly lube. I think ARP recommended 78 ft/lbs.
