Mostly out, a little more to remove and clean up. Torsion bar cross member looks nice and solid.

I had to do the same to my 70 Roached Runner.

Finished removing the rest of it and got most of the clean up done, almost ready for the first test fit.

Dropped in pretty nicely although not fun trying to get it in the door opening by myself. Just needs a little fine tuning with hammer and dolly and a little trimming along the edges to fit better then it's on to drilling lots of holes for plug welding. Of course I'll clean up and coat inside the rails before final install.
Nice work! I did the same to my car. If it's in the budget, I would suggest purchasing a punch tool for the plug weld holes. I put a slice in the head with a grinder so that I could place the holes a bit more in-board.

A hole puncher would save work along the edges but most of the holes are too far inboard for it to work.

Holes drilled and sanded, scuffed the underside, next I'll flip it over and prep the top side. I coated the inside of the cross member and as much as I could get of the frame rails and I'll spray some weld thru primer on the any areas that I can't get to once welded in.

Had to plug two holes and drill them with a 1" hole saw as they are not in correct location for '70. Got the seat belts brackets and cable bracket bead blasted and welded on.
