I just want to add something to this post as I used it as a guide from my own engine pulling. I did not originally plan on pulling the engine and because of this I think I found an easier way than the described post. Everything was the same up until dealing with the trans.

I removed my radiator and condenser because I planned on doing the install with the motor in the car. Because of this I was able to easily pull the motor forward without having to do any jacking to the transmission. I removed the engine mounts from the actual block instead of the mount attached to the cradle. This allowed the engine to slide forward and backward without any pivoting needed of the transmission.

In the last photo we used a wooden plank and bridged it from one cradle bolt to the other. We use the old head bolts as they were the correct threading as well as a wide enough space to provide room for the wood to brace the transmission and keep it from moving. This also allows us to roll the car even with the engine removed. This removed the need for a third person. During removal we supported this wood beam with a jack in the middle.

This saves you from having to unhook anything there and to remove anything except for the transmission cooler lines which will be messed with when you remove the radiator and the condenser. I personally think it is a lot easier to remove the radiator and condenser than to deal with the transmission in any way. Just thought I would add my two cents to anyone else looking at this guide in the future.



Good luck and hope this helps.
