Engine Reinstall question

Engine Reinstall question
I just pulled my engine for a rebuild and will need to reinstall it soon. For those of you who have done this before I have a question. I unbolted the clutch from the flywheel for removal. For reinstall did you just do the reverse or is it easier to remove the clutch and bolt it to the flywheel BEFORE reinstalling and bolting the tranny housing to the engine?

man, I'm having a hard time following your question...
1) the pressure plate bolts to the flywheel, which holds the clutch disc to the flywheel (which must be aligned)
2) the entire assembly must be installed before bolting the tranny up to the engine.
maybe I've had too much coffee

Thanks Dave that is exactly what I wanted to know.
dubulup - What I am saying is that I unbolted the pressure plate from the flywheel for engine removal through the trans cover plates. I was wondering if reinstall in easier to do the reverse or if it is easier to remove the clutch and pressure plate from the tranny and bolt it onto the engine flywheel before reinstall?

If you got all that stuff out already unless you know the milage on the parts in there nows the time to replace the throw out bearing disc and pressure plate. Hate to see you doing again shortly after you get her going again. I have to guess you put in a new pilot bearing and seal in the motor your installing ??

i forgot i own an FD
Does the pressure plate just slide right off??? I'm pulling it, but it only slides a little bit then seems to get stuck. Is there something else I have to do first?

Actually, I just found Wargasm's video on my hd. Makes so much more sense now. Now if I could only get the transmission and motor lined up (T-T).
I posted the video to google video and you tube.

If you have the motor mounts on the engine it will be next to impossible to get the input shaft of the tranny to line up with the motor as the tranny won't go high enough for the mounts to clear the frame and if they clear the frame the angle is too steep for the input shaft, you'll most likely damage the pilot bearing if you force it. The pressure plate release ring is the simpliest thing once you've done it.

You might also want to replace the clutch line to something like braided stainless steel. I don't like the idea of rubber exposed holding my clutch fluid. Can't shift mad quick yo!!!
