Deerwd, having just dropped and reinstalled my engine this late winter/early spring, I can truly say "installation is reverse of removal!" However I would suggest the following: find/make a good checklist of things to disconnect/unbolt for an engine removal. I found a good one online, but damned if I know where I found it. Seemed more complete than the one in the Pelican article. Make sure you label everything you remove even if it seems obvious where it goes. I had one small hose that for the life of me I couldn't remember where it went. Finally had to take a picture of it and post it here to identify it. Get zip lock bags to place bolts you remove and clearly label the bag (for example axle bolts). I dropped and reinstalled the engine by myself.(First time on a Porsche). I had my wife around when I did the lift back up into the engine bay just in case something went wrong. Just make sure you have the wiring and axles out of the way when you start jacking the engine back into place. Using the rear engine mount bar it is really quite easy to line up the mounts front and rear. Just take your time and check everything twice.
