Some are likely covered in the video(s), but tips:
* Get the video discussed here: https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generati...wesome-366548/ and possibly Adkins video too. Gives you a head start on many things.
* You do NOT have to disconnect any AC lines, nor any of the power steering lines. An impact will make short work of the PS pulley, then work the pulley off and access the two bolts mounting the pump. Then you can access the mounting bolts for the AC compressor and BOTH can be set off to the side w/o disconnecting lines.
* The pull-type clutch usually throws first timers... watch this:

I did one just recently.
It was a piece of cake...Mmm..Cake..nom,nom,nom..(sorry hungry!)
Ya,If the oil is out of the Transmission then it makes it "cleaner" to take out and doesn't leave a Trail of gear oil!
If you unbolt the trans under the car,juts make sure it is supported by a jack of some sort so you can move it out of the way when you get to taking the engine/Trans out of the engine bay.
It may take a wiggle or 2 but they usually just slide right out.
Suggestion would be to either have a load leveler on the engine hoist or when you get it half way up,rest it on the subframe so you can re-arrange the chain as the tail stock needs to clear the firewall.
PS: my brothers a PR*** so he would get along with your brother just fine..lol!

The FD has two engine hoist rings. One should be attached to the right rear of the upper intake manifold (upper left in picture) The other is attached to the front iron just behind the alternator (lower right of picture). NOT my engine BTW. It can probably done without one, but I've never tried. IMO a leveler attachment on the hoist is almost an necessity.

There's a tendency to shear one of the two bolts holding the alternator hoisting point. This is usually because 1) engine is hung up somewhere and you "git down on" 2) rigging is setup incorrectly and induces high side loads. As sgt said, load leveler will help a lot during pulling/installing as well as preventing snapped bolts.
