row of bolts ,rear tub to cross member, fuel filer hoses,wing supports in wheel arch ,front tub to chassis bolts,bulkhead bolts x2 plus support brackets,inner wing bolts rear and front,slam panel supports,there probably a few more but from memory thats the majority, i remove rad assembly,earth cable under passenger seat box, some depends on age and engine,ie some 300s and td5s have an earth on rhs of t/box,and obviously clutch pipe work to slave and brake pipes steering uj to box
