Engine Removal

[want-a-fast-svx]

Hey everyone,
well "gotsubarus" is on the way down here to florida with a engine for me to put in my car. I was just wondering if anyone who has experience with pulling the engine in the svx could possibly chime in here and tell me anything they know, and any tricky spots that might pop up along the way. I never pulled an engine before but i think between my friend and i and the service manuals, as well you all I should be able to do it. So if any of you have any tips or tricks please help me out. So far the only things i could find on here are: 1)Move hood struts back so hood stand almost vertical
2)remove the charcoal cannister
3)Possibly remove the throttle body so it doesnt get damaged by the chains...Is this a smart step to take or is it just an extra step???
4)SPray exhaust bolts with penetrating lubricant..


thanks again for any help
