OH yeah if you like this and want to see more guides like this then say so...

haha i think they wanted pics of some of the steps in removing the engine, not the finished product..

The hardest thing I at least took a pic of. That is the angle the engine and tranny need to be at to come out. Also the other pics are just so you can glance at them to see what I am talking about when I describe stuff Like where to put power steering pump and ac compressor. Pulling an engine on one of these cars is a walk in the park anyways. You should try pulling the engine on an mr2! Fuck those are a pain in the ass.... done it once and don't wanna do it again unless it is to put one hell of a bad ass engine in.
