Swapping to fixed yoke

[big pappa b]

So I need to swap in a fixed yoke in place of the slip that is currently in my 205 so I can give jesse a good measurement for my driveshaft When I take off the 5 bolts that hold in the flange, does everything just pull out and I put the new fixed yoke in?. Hoping for a nice, quick, simple swap out

Ok, it's not as simple as the 5 bolts. Looks like the next flange in has to come out as well. I have all but 1 of those bolts out. The one at the very top is located behind the vent tube....what the hell was GM thinking??
If I had a body lift...no problem. Looks like an access hole is in order..dammit

i thought the 205's didn't have slips?

Some did. My 80 was a factoy 6 cylinder/3 speed on the column with a slip 205. I kept the 205
