Hi Neil here is a little write up i just did for one fella in Europe ..maybe it will help you a little

1.drain the oil from tank and engine.2.disconnect (right hand side -next to the oil tank) the oil line from engine oil pump to tank-36-32mm open wrench.Remove the S hose, tank to oil cooler -2 clamps use oil pan it will leak some oil out. I do not know if you have ssi system -and if you have crossover oil line.if yes disconnect it next to the oil cooler.

4.use circlip pliers to remove the little finger on the bottom of clutch arm.remove the finger with the spring and the big arm.5 remove the triangle bracket(for the clutch arm ) so you can get easier to the 15mm nut above (which holds the trans to the engine)

6.remove the other side 15mm nut on the trans.

7.(prior this disconnect the battery) disconnect the 13mm nut -starter red cable and the other yellow(what ever you have on starter)

8.use needle nose pliers disconnect the back up light cable from the switch and move away from the trans.

9.remove the heater hoses from heat exchanger -disconnect them

10.disconnect the throttle linkage from the trans bracket(just pry sideways with a screwdriver.

11.remove between the seat the cover and disconnect the shifter coupler -just the little allen head screw not the 13mm adjustment !!



Now the top

1.Remove the oil filter so you can access the breather hose behind it-disconnect it form the tank and the other on top of the filler too.

2.remove the el.plug on left side from the alu fuse box and wire for CD unit-plus white 2 wires connector under the CD unit-male and female

3.remove the heater hose which goes to the left heat exchanger so you can access the fuel lines and e.t.c. on the left side

4.disconnect the top of the fuel filter line .

5 disconnect the vacuum acu.bottom line.

6.disconnect the return line 14mm and 17mm open wrench right under the brake booster connection

7..get yourself nice floor jack with a round top-place it under the engine.I usually place it right in the middle of the strainer plate.It is a perfect ballance place - you will see later.

8.used air gun to disconnect the engine mounts bolts

9.lower the engine so you can reach over to the upper 15 mm nut one left top opposite the starter-remove it.

10 remove the 10mm allen head starter nut -while there disconnect the throttle linkage at the throttle body joint

11.pull a little for the wire harness so you can see it free back up light switch and starter connections wires

12.your floor jack is placed exactly in the middle of the strainer plate

13.lower the engine more so the muffler will clear the rear valance and pull..it will come out easy.

14 once you have the engine sitting flat-disconnected from the trans. on your jack plate lower the engine or raise the car slowly -i do not know your set up...
