The ducted fan was always a bolt on mounted to the engine. Just unbolt the ducted fan and put on the psru. I had to remove the big flywheel nut and flywheel with the engine on the airframe, but that wasn't difficult with the big Mazdatrix wrench and another long lever bolted to the flywheel pushing against the floor. Had to cut a hole in the lower cowl for the starter to protrude through at the 6 oclock position. And route the oil lines. That's about it.
