Thanks Philly, I was able to unbolt at the mid pipe no problem. Good call on the grounding strap, I missed that too. Managed to find the aft lifting point, too. As far as the AC I ended up pulling off the pump and leaving the whole system intact and in the car. It was blowing ice cold before so hopefully I can just reconnect the pump when I drop the new motor in.
Sill undecided as to weather I am going to pull the Transmission out with the engine or not. I am doing all this in the street where there is no even ground for jack stands so I think I am going to just pull the engine out alone. Any thoughts?
Thanks again for all the free advice.
