Engine Removal Guide Here's an engine removal guide I put together. I might have done a few steps that didn't have to be done. Had to drop the picture quality so I could upload to my account. A few people have the good version floating around. First file is the pictures (11 MB), 2nd is the writeup.

Nice writeup man! Ive never seen such description! But I have the same questions as "localmechanic" and is there a better way then disconnecting all those brake lines from the ABS/TC assembly? Also is there a way to remove the AC Compressor so AC doesnt have to be evacuated?

The a/c compressor can also be supported with some straps after being freed from the brackets. No discharge necessary, but you have to be careful.
engine while you sliding it into place and make you wish you had just
discharged the thing in the first place.
Just my .02
The worst part was that I later found out that the compressor was bad and had to come out anyway.
