engine removal

some body asked me today about removing an engine from a 96 probe se,manual trans.he said that the car has to be lifted to get the engine out.is this true,do you have to remove the engine from underneath the vehicle?
is this a hard job?
how long should it take to remove the engine?

thanx flatire

on my gt it took 13 hours to do a complete swap from what ive been told the se is a b*tch to get out even more so than the gt

did the engine have to come out from underneath or does it lift out thetop?

the v-6 will come out the top the 4 cylinder i have no idea
