I pulled a 951 engine on saturday, not too bad.

1. Drain all fluids. (I disconnected the oil cooler from the car & lowered it with the engine, with the hoses still attached to the engine)
2. remove radator fans, radiator, all front connecting water hoses.
3. disconnect fuel lines, throttle, all wiring to TPS, AFM, Temp 2, O2, crank trigger, cycling valve, etc.
4. remove heater hose connection, vacuum line to brake booster.

Under car:
5. remove exhaust from downpipe so engine can lower.
6. remove starter & secure wires.
7. disconnect slave &let hang.
8. Remove sway bar.
9. remove steering rack, disconnect hoses, disconnect steering coupler, remove tie rod from one side only, then swing rack around on the other tie rod (to point forward in front of the front wheel, so as to dodge the engine coming out.
10. assuming nose of car is high up on jackstands: remove main a-arm bolts, remove rear a-arm bolt pairs, swing a-arms out of the way of engine.
11. Put jackstand & 2x10 or so under oil pan, centered as best you can. pump up to counter the engine's weight.
12. slowly pull the 4 bolts for the cross-member so engine is free. Pump jack to keep engine at same level.
13. Pull jack forward slowly to allow torque-tube shaft to slide out of clutch disc.
14. Lower engine onto ground & pull out from under car.
