I was looking at this and it's a single-load, but seems to use the LC - this is a crack using a Wildcat - I wonder if it's somehow possible to pack it into 48K (allowing it, of course, to unpack itself into the 64K) so that I can exomize it. (I haven't figured anything out by simple tracing. I'm still too noob to track it further right now.)

I found that the memory areas from $0400-$07FF, $2000-$5FFF and $9300-$93FF could be safely zapped (and I think I was able to safely ignore P - plus I jumped in on a TAX so I could gut X too.)

I shoved an unpacker into the $93 page where it fits rather comfortably. The jump at $03FD is quickly overwritten. The contents of the language card are overlaid on HGR and HGR2 memory which is overwritten anyway.
