Detailed/Pictoral guide to engine removal?
I've been working over the last week or so on pulling out the block from my parts car to transplant it in place of the seized one on the vert I'm working on restoring. I've got both the Haynes guide & the FSM to help guide me in this- but neither of those goes into very much fine detail, especially when it comes to the insane number of small tubing and such that has to be disconnected. They just say, 'remove in this order'. The Atkins rebuild DVD looks like it'll be excellent for when I get started on trying to rebuild the seized engine- but it starts with the engine already out of the car. Has anyone ever done a detailed- perhaps even with pictures, like this post from the archives- writeup of the proper procedure for removing the block for a rebuilt/swap?
If there isn't, and I'm feeling extraordinarily ambitious, I may try doing one when I go to pull the engine from the main car- I want to take a lot of pictures anyway so I can have a reference for putting things back together. The main problem with this of course being that I'm very new at this, and might screw something up in the writeup- though I'd figure it would be pointed out quickly enough by someone far more experienced.

I've always liked the engine removal procedures on Kevin Landers' site. Here's the link for the normally aspirated version:

By the way, I see that he's redone his website, and it looks great!

cdaleracer669- Oh, I've been attacking the engine on my parts car quite nicely over the last week or so- I've just been thinking that I'm really glad to have it to do first so I can see exactly what I need to be careful of when I get to pulling the engine from the 'real' car. I'm likely going to pull the engine & tranny from the main one, but will just be pulling the engine from the parts car, since I'm not worried about putting it back together.
buttsjim- that's better than anything I've seen so far, it should be a big help.
Sideways7- Do most people just replace the vacuum lines with new ones, or are there a number of them that they just discard because they're not necessary? I wouldn't think the latter by an large, but as I said- I'm a bit new to this.
Thanks!

roll of masking tape, a marker, and a notepad. When you disconnect things, wrap each side in tape and assign both the same number. Write in the notepad the number with a discription, and location. Take pictures of the disconnected items up( showing their marked number) then take a picture far away to show it relative position in the engine bay.
