*Update*

UPDATE
Considering the little room I have doing this project, I was able to pull the motor up and out leaving front clip and trans in the vehicle.

The top bell housing bolts can be done from the top with a ratchet that swivels or flexs at the top.

I did take out the fan in front for more room.

Entire wire harness is in the car still, just unplug everything.

Take off the intake manifold for easier access to A LOT.

Now when lifting the motor the flywheel and clutch will get caught on the cowl where the wipers are.

I suggest removing the front clip like previously stated by another member.

I'm going to remove the front clip to put the new motor in.

Waiting on a clutch to arrive. Next update is next week.
