Question Replacing motor!

I am in the process of replacing my motor, and I was wondering if I should disconnect all the connectors on the motor, or disconnect the main harness from the ECU, because some of the connectors are really hard to get to, also, I want to disconnect my A/C, and my airpump, what all do I have to do to disconnet them, and where do I get the right sized belts that I am going to need. While I am doing the motor, I am replacing my diff. mounts, does anyone know the easiest way to do so. If anyone knows anything about this it would be a great help, I only have to disconnect the motor mounts and she is ready to come out. And any other advise or suggestions that anyone has would also help me out. Thanks

Disconnect the harness from the ecu. It is easier to hook up everything with the motor out of the car. If you remove the compressor plug the lines to save them. On a side note do you want to sell the core motor?

If you take off the air pump and are using the stock pullies you will have to use a 4 rib belt they dont make a 5 rib belt that fits, i was using a 4pk740 or so, its pretty tight, you have to crank on the belt, you can fit a 4pk760but you have to max out the adjustment. Not sure about the ac thing, why not just take out the ps and you only need one belt, the car feels better with no ps, but parking is a little harder. Definetly disconnect the harness from the ecu, its a lot easier. But you have to fish the harness out of the firewall.

You probably do not want to sell you core. If you are getting a reman they require to turn in your core or they charge you a **** load of cash.
