I just wondered because it didn't look like heads had been removed.

Judging by the amount of aluminum bits all over the engine and the shop-vac in the background, my guess is the heads were not removed. Anyway, are there any progress updates on this?

Yes.
I keep trying to put photos inline, but it keeps failing. Probably something to do with my browser or Flash. Anyway, here are two attached.
Engine accessories have been fitted: a/c compressor, water pump, and alternator. Serpentine belt is installed. Everything looks good.
Alternator is in the stock position for the 3.0L engine; as a result, that wiring had to be replaced with a longer run.
New engine mounts have been installed.
Engine compartment is ready for installation.

Been meaning to ask him about that. What did he do?

Well, he didn't use the stupid fitting that's on it. He took a piece of heater hose and stretched it over the whole thing and used a hose clamp.

Do you know if a 2.8L (K-Jet) manifold will fit on the 3.0L?
