I put all my bolts and what not in ziplock baggies and labled them. Makes it supereasy to find them when you go to put everything back together.

clean your engine before you work on it. it's nice to not have every bolt covered with a layer of grime/dust.

I 100% agree with the bag suggestion. And FWIW, I think pulling the motor with the tranny attached is easier.

Clean all your parts when they are out of the car. It's a lot more easier to clean. It will make the engine look a lot nicer. Since the motor will be out you might as well clean the engine bay.

Using the FSM helps out a lot. As for your nuts and bolts, make sure that you keep them grouped together. Try and get a friend or two to help you while you pull out and install the motor.
