Pretty easy to for a swap. Fluid lines two engine mounts and tranny (your choice to leave it in the car or take with the engine) I usually leave the tranny and just take the motor. Have fun and drink lots (after its out of course).

Don't be like me and sit there for an hour trying to figure out why I couldn't seperate the motor from the tranny. I missed one of the tranny bolts. After I took the starter out I missed the other bolt that was down there and sat there like a dumbass prying on the motor.

make sure you get the pic of yourself sitting in the compartment without the engine.. That seem popular for some reason.

Yeah, that's a must. Someone should make a sticky with nothing but those pics, that would be hillarious.
