Ok, I'm doing preps and research for doing removal of my non-turbo engine in my RX7. So I wonder if there are any short cuts in doing this. I'm referencing the Factory Service Manual and will list what it says to disconnect and remove. I'm starting at this point, because it's what I have to start with. Now what I am asking is for help in short cutting this list or help in making and part of this engine removal much easier than what the FSM says I should do. If you could please highlight the area that you are modifying so I know exactly what you are referring to. Once I have all the input I'll have a set of instructions that are easy to understand and my work will go much faster than it would if I had to use the actual factory instructions. Also a list of tools that I will need to complete this process as well as what size hoses I need for vacuum, or any other hoses to do this as well. Thanks for any help or feedback.
