1. The blower motor is under the panel where the wipers bolt to, right? (No air comes on when I turn on the a/c).

No...blower motor is under the passenger side of the dash. Have fun with that shiz...remove the passenger seat if your bigger than a 5th grader.

2. This will be my second set of hydraulic lower engine and trans mounts in a year, zzp solids the way to go?

If you don't care about rattling and feeling everything in your engine...then ya...get em. If not...get a new solid rubber engine/trans mount from AutoZone. I thought I told you to quit buying the fluid filled ones last time you had this issue?

3. Turns out my sunroof is aftermarket, it's also alot smaller than a normal stock gp one and a pain in the ass to find parts for, should I just cut into the roof and swap a stock gp sunroof in there? I know a body guy so labor won't be TOO bad.

Your call jeeves. I'd have someone fix the one in there.

4. Trans fluid...never been changed. My car has 126k on it now, I've heard changing the fluid after that long can shock the trans. Is this true or should I change it? If I shouldn't change the fluid should I at least change the filter?

It is true...but only if you FLUSH it. Just do a pan drop...replace the fluid you lost...put in a new filter...if you don't have a shift kit...I'd buy one while your in there. Get either an Intense-Racing one or a TransGo from Dave @ Triple Edge.

5. Last time I got an oil change they told me my pan was leaking, can't be anything major because the car never leaks oil onto the ground...so is this something that should get attention asap or can it wait?

If it isn't broke...don't fix it IMO. Oil pan gasket means dropping the cradle...it sucks.

6. All 3 codes that are set to no report are showing up "not ready" on the emissions test. I thought once they were set to no report you can pass?

Yes...because no report means they won't show up...period.

Thanks guys, any help is always appreciated.

See the blue yo...and just for my reference...why in god's name are you running a N*? Your in no need for a throttle body that big.
