Not sure if this answers your question but it's always better to get rid of the rear block if at all possible.

me my brother and my dad did over two weekends it wasnt horrible but it wasnt easie either. just when you lift these old girls you must get a borgensan shaft its a must have for a lifted first gen and a should have for any 4x4 first gen. and brandon it is all leafs but the kit came with a block (replaces the factory block) that helps with the diferental angle.
