Default LS3 removal

Hi,
I need to find out how to remove a LS3 motor (6.2 liter) and a 6-speed manual out of a 2011 camaro SS. The car was totaled but the engine and trany are still good. Does any one know of any links that give you a quick guide to do this. I've removed engines before but never out of a newer vehicle. Is this a difficult process?
I'd like to do the work myself.

Unbolt motor mounts, disconnect harnesses, pull them both out the top as one unit.

Thanks DietCoke, it just looks harder than what it may seem. Do you know of any links that may have procedures in what to tackle 1st, 2nd, etc?

I don't know how much procedure there could possibly be. Unplug everything connected, and unbolt the motor mounts. the whole assembly will tilt, and comes straight out.
