starter wires when pulling engine?
Started pulling engine with tranny attached, and then I noticed I forgot some wires... though the writeup I was trying to follow said nothing about having to do remove them, I have a hard time believing they can stay. The wires in question (sorry, my phone is dead, no pictures currently available) are coming from the transmission, and the starter, going into what seems to be a part of the charging system of the car, on the drivers side, underneath the oil filter location.
upon re-reading this, I am sure I described nothing useful whatsoever.
but any help is very appreciated.

possibly the dumbest thing i can ask, but when watching aaron cake's rebuild video, he managed to put the engine on a stand, but form the side of the block it looks like, because when he tilted the stand, it put the engine straight up and down, which he goes on to say is actually kinda important as it keeps the bearings from moving around especially during reassembly.
sooo... where are the holes?> i see two above the top two spark plugs...

Also the starter has to be all the way removed, because there is a ground wire that should be going to the transmission housing sandwiched by the starter. Only wire that should be coming off with the transmission are the wires directly connecter to the rear part of the transmission.

No...

When I pull an engine, I do not pull the manifolds, nor do I pull the wiring harness off the engine. I take the entire harness out with the engine.
It's faster that way.
