Don't forget speed holes!

j/k

While the engine is out this might be a good time to consider new engine or tranny mounts or an electric fan (also available in junkyards, though the cowl will most likely need customization)

Yeah, take the nuts off the bottom, and theres one bolt on the top that screws into the block as I recall. Its a bolt for a stablizing bar or some crap. I missed it at first as well.

it's a bit tricky, but i usually get it off by laying underneath the car ... if you're having that much trouble though, i'd say wait until the engine is out so you don't round off any off the nuts.
