Default removing engine

Just wondering if anyone has pulled their engine yet? If so about how long did it take and was it difficult? I've never had to pull an engine on this car yet. Do i really have to drop it out from underneath? Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanx in advance.

Well I can take out the motor from underneath on a rack in about 45 min. If everything goes ok it comes out even quicker. Anyway from what i hear it is ok but not really easy to just take the intake and heads off and disconnect the tranny and pull it up through the top.

i took mine apart in my garage with a set of jak stands and a floor jack, takes me about 2 hrs by myself. just takes a little bit of time to do it the first time to see where everything is plugged in and where everytihng goes. just go through it slow so u can see and remember where everything runs and how it is all routed, and pics help out alot. it will save much time in the end...
