A few hints. Get the come along so you can control the engine during removal and installation, very important. Remove the water pipe at the rear of the engine which goes behind the transmission case. Check the release fork for oblong holes where the release bearing mounts. Replace the transmission input shaft seal so you don't end up with tranny oil on your new clutch in the future. Do the block of wood under the tranny after removing radiator with grille attached, exhaust, and front motor mounts, leave engine bolted to the tranny so you can lift the transmission as you lift the engine, insert wood block then unbolt the engine from the tranny. Be sure to use a clutch alignment tool, tighten the pressure plate bolts evenly. Replace the pilot bearing, if you don't have a pilot brg puller, fill the pilot hole full with a grease gun, get a shaft the size of the pilot hole, push it into the hole and wack it with a hammer and the hydraulic pressure will force the pilot bushing out. If you have the flywheel machined, have the machine shop change the pilot. Lastly find two studs that thread into the back of the engine to line up the engine and trans as you put the engine back in. Piece of cake!
