is the tranny out too. I put mine in with the tranny on the motor, no starter . and just the lower intake manifold. Just take out the rad and it will be easy. Make sure you have at least 2 assistants though. It is a pain to do by yourself

yeah....from what i hear (and about to experience) leaving the tranny on during the removal and installation makes it SOOO much easier....as far as alignment and whatnot

I tend to agree with leaving the tranny on with the install, I wish I would have done that with mine, everything went well except that part, was interesting trying to line it up. otherwise I had most of the engine intack with the install, minus the alt., air pump, fan and clutch, not sure if I had the butterfly assembly on or not

I remove the engine and trans as one, with everything removed except for the exhaust manifold and the lower intake manifold. Brake it all apart once it is out of the car and you got a nice shortblock. Installation is just reverse. I have done it more time than I should, and it has worked fine for me. Got it down to an art. Now I just need the car to run
