this is a tough situation to be in. is the A Arm damaged in some way, or are the bushings shot?
in my opinion if you have to replace the entire control arm, you should yank the engine.
Just doing the upper a arm bushings is a terrible nightmare with the a-arm in the car - i dont know if you could get the a arm out entirely with the engine in.
given that, its a great reason to do alot of restoration work on the front end at the same time.
new upper and lower control arm bushings, ps rack, motor mounts,suspension components like ball joints, brakes, etc.
But of course you have to have the space, time and money..
