My 1989 Lincoln Continental air suspension went
Yes, theres a kit that replaces the air bags with shocks and springs and then they give you a small module that connects in the trunk to the air suspension diagnostic connector to turn off the air ride light and keep compressor from running, i,ve found that the price ends up costing the same or more to replace than repair. i have done a ton of these and the problem is the bags leak and sometimes cause the airpump to go bad, theres a web site i use that sells these parts cheap and they work great, start by replacing the bags and then the compressor if needed, the selinoids on the bags are reuseable, now if this car has the front and rear air ride then it is cheaper to convert and i think this car does if its got the v6 engine then it is front and rear air suspension, they sell a kit for 499.00 dollars and comes with struts and springs complete to convert i think just one air strut is 200.00 so it is cheaper to convert .i hope this helps, the web site is get google

You can try this a couple of times. If still too lean, either change that injector or send it out for cleaning and testing.

Either you have a vacuum leak or a faulty Idle Air Control Valve (IAC) First check all vacuum hoses
PROCESS OF TAKING THE TRANSMISSION OUT.DO YOU HAVE
Usually not. As long as you can reach all the bolts that connect the transmission to the motor, then, no. There are usually two near the top of the bellhousing, near the floor and firewall, that are hard to reach (and hard to swing a wrench on), but (at least on the cars I have worked on) they are easier to get out than to pull the engine.
Now, if you are pulling the motor, on many cars it is easier to also pull the transmission with the motor, than to try to separate them and also support the transmission once the engine is unbolted. But the transmission is usually easier to pull by itself.

Your on the right track. Your transmission is going to have to be either rebuilt or replaced, sometimes buying new isn't much different from having one rebuilt. Then theres the other option with a salvage yard, but for I transmission, I wouldn't suggest it personally. Hope this helps and sorry to hear about your misfortune.

It sounds like the "Rack and Pinion steering" could be bad. But the other sounds can easily be balljoints or tierods.
In any case the best thing to do is get an estimate for repair from an alignment shop. Then you can call around if you wish and see how fair the price is.
The longer you wait, the more stuff will be damaged and if certain parts are bad, it is dangerous to drive.

Brakes are no longer power. I almost have to stand
The braking is a vacuum assisted function and your booster has probably failed.
This is not an expensive part but choose your shop carefully otherwise they may soak you for things you don't need.
I use BBB to check on reputations.
