engine remvoal
 
So I will soon be gutting my camaro, and taking out the engine and trans. What is the easiest/best way of taking it out of the car.......without a lift I have helped remove a mustang, and an old f-body engine in the past, with a picker, but just curious becuase this thing looks tight as hell in there

Got any tips or tricks? Would it be better to drop the trans, and just pull the motor out seperatley, or just take it out as 1 ( i would assume indiviudually is easier)

Also, would it make my job easier if i tear off the front bumper, it is already partially off from a tree falling on it


thanks for the help

i heard taking it out from underneath is the easiest way, i havnt done it yet so maybe somebody will give you some info

from underneath is definately easier.....but I do not have a lift. ANd i dont think, actually i am pretty confident there isn't enough room to do it on jack stands.



although, if i take the front bumper and support off the front, you think it would be possible to drop the k-memeber, and just wheel it out from the front?
