Last night (Saturday, Sept 22) I got to do the list of all items prior to engine and transmission drop... also got all the oil lines out of the car, took out the calipers (two are new, a third one was restored, one is pending restoration but it is rebuilt), got the door handles off the car, etc.
So for the engine drop I:
Drained the oil... still can't get used to the amount of oil our cars use... cool
Detached battery ground strap
Unbolted shift coupler
Removed sway bars (rear one needs to be removed, front one I just removed to avoid getting any overspray or paint on it... a lot of parts in this car were powdercoated).
Got all the wires out of the way (reverse backup, speedometer cable, starter cable), disconnected the clutch cable, disconnected engine wire harness...
Removed accelerator linkage
Removed the CV Joints/shafts
Removed all the oil lines (including the side hard lines and front oil coil), heater hoses, fuel lines
Got the hydraulic table cart from Harbor Freights. 200.00 well spent.
