It's not terribly difficult to get a camera under a truck when you have a full hydraulic lift and can put the truck up in the air. That way you can access the underside of the vehicle with both tools AND a camera, and those of us watching at home understand that while we may need to lay on our backs to do it, we CAN do it without all of the work involved in pulling those components out.
... I guess I was just hoping for a different kind of project than this turned out to be. I feel like they misrepresented what kind of work they had planned, at least in tone if not expressly. When they took that chevy apart to that degree, yanked the motor and tranny out, and I started adding up the costs of what they were doing, I felt like I was watching an entirely different project than the one I was expecting after the introductory episode.
It as if they said in the first episode "We're going to show you how to do a brake job!" and then when they started the work in the next episode, they've ordered a complete replacement 4-wheel competition brake set and are doing a drum-to-disc conversion while they're at it. That's great and all, but you've gone right past what I was expecting, much less anything most of us at home are going to do.
Just my opinion based on the impression I got, that's all.
