i have done this a few times, and it is amazing how much faster it goes the second time you do it. be patient. be careful of the shifter linkage, if you force it, you will foul the ignition switch and pay big$$. you will want to take the opportunity to replace the inner boots and grease on the drive shafts...you may find worn ball joints that are already half way out...conductive, waterproof grease for electrical connectors when you reassemble...power steering fluid hoses...pressure washing the engine and compartment...have the radiator boiled in acid...its a good time to renew the alternator as they are a bitc! to get out when the motor is in the car, rebuilding will run ~75$, replacement later is way more...a new donut for the header to exhaust pipe flange. it is a good six hours the first time. good luck, remember, your doing this 'for fun'
