I removed the bell housing from the engine and the nine clutch bolts after removing the starter. Leaving the bell housing on the torq tube along with the pressure plate, clutch disk, throw out bearing, clutch hydraulics, etc.
Did remove the speed and reference sensors.
Didn't have to remove any engine supports or the exhaust manifolds.
Did remove the fans and the radiator. Could have left the radiator in place now that I've done this once. Also the alternator and the AC compressor.
Did remove the power steering pulley and did leave the PS pump with the chassis.
Did take the hood off after marking it. Still a pig to get back on straight.
Putting an engine back in requires the additional adjustable support between the lift and the engine. There is some rocking and rotation that has to occur to get the bell housing lined up with the engine block. The end of the drive shaft helps as it finds the pilot bearing like a squirrel looking for it's home.
Dropping the cross support down on it's four bolts helps for bell housing alignment as well as getting to the top bolts.
