I used the bolt holes in the heads as well as the alternator and bracket.
The whole process went pretty smoothly.
I built a platform for my floor jack to support the trans pan pretty evenly.
Unhooked battery
Remove air box and maf tube Remove crossover pipe Undo electrical and shift cable Take the CV nuts off and remove the sway bar links and tie rods. Strap calipers up out of the wayRemove struts and control arms plus knuckle.

Remove engine and trans mounts from subframe Support engine and trans from above
Drain trans fluid and undo the lines to coolerUnbolt torque converterRemove subframe Support trans from below and remove the trans to engine bracket then bell housing bolts.
Wiggle the trans off and lower it down and out.
Good job, and thank you, The passenger side was where I was wondering about lift points as there seems to be very little to grab from. Doesn't look fun for sure. I had saved this thread from another forum in the event mine goes, not sure about a couple hours but it looks doable and easier than taking everything out.
There's been a lot going on but I've managed to get close to final assembly on this transmission. I am hoping everything works out great. I'm in this about 1900 so far.

The input and second assemblies are the most time consuming pita lots of ingenuity involved here for me to get them done without special tools. Oh don't forget the bushings are a bigger pita haha!!!
Well I got the trans finished about a month ago now. It has about 2000 miles on it and feels great. The gear change feels really good for sure.
Now I just need more power. I was thinking a intake manifold and cam but what would be the best bang for the buck?
