Quickest way to pull the engine/trans?
I need to pull the engine out of my FD - I don't need to disassemble it at this time I just need it out of the car to get the car repaired. It may need work at a later date but I can disassemble it then if that is the case.
I searched through the archives but could not find anything - does anyone know of a writeup or would care to post what the minimum number of things and quick/easy way of getting either just the engine or the engine/trans combo out of the car?
thanks everyone, with your help I can have this car back on the road restored to her former glory sooner instead of later!

FSM is your best friend, I've followed its instructions and it was great.
you can also purchase the pdfs from some members here also.
the quick rundown
-remove i/c battery, intake, and the bracket that holds these together
( you can leave the radiator there)
-disconnect tranny from the driveshaft
-disconnect downpipe (2 bolt side, you can leave the downpipe there too)
-remove power plant frame 5 big bolts
-disconnect the ecu from all the plugs and run it out through the firewall.
-disconnect ac lines, power steering line, fuel lines
-take off the two engine mount bolts
and look around for some miscellaneous things i might have forgotten.

somehow I find that hard to believe, especially with stock FD's legendary reliability lol.
guess I'll figure it out myself.

I think it's best to pull it with the trans, I've pulled it without the tranny before and its a pain to get it back in. Now I just pull it with the tranny and when im done dealing with what ever problem, it's a breeze to get it back in.
