btw thanks for your help.
It is with the wiring harness...but that's the beauty of it. You can pull your drivetrain out along with PCM and the 2 or 3 connectors in the cab. Then you don't have to pull off every little connection on the motor while it's in the car. and it's really nice to re-wire the motor and route all your wires while it's out of the car too.

Pull both the bolts on the steering shaft. Grab a pry bar and a hammer. Tap on the shaft so it starts to slide a bit toward the steering column/loosen it up.
Then get underneath the car, and get your pry bar on the bottom section going into the steering box. Tap it off. Then, you should be able to pull the shaft off the steering column shaft. If not, tap it off using the pry bar and hammer.

Nope, its a 350 going to 355.. my sig is misleading.

Update: everything, minus brake lines are out of the way... I've been thinking of the best way to do it, but other than that i've been building a cart to help wheel out the engine and i should be done!

umm......7/16? According to the handy windows calculator its 11.1125 mm.
I was able to pull all of mine with a set of line wrenches...but I have both american and metric...and I ditched ABS a long time ago. Went with braided -3 stainless line through the whole car.
