There was almost no electrical connectors to deal with, maybe a 5 minute job to change a generator, if you didn't need to remove an old gasket maybe a 15 minute job for a water pump. 10 minute job for a starter. Yeah no plastic crap to have to move out of the way to get to something.
Remove a valve cover in 5 minutes. Its easier to work on an old Cat D8 on some things than on any new car, or LS400, and no plastic to worry about breaking.
