How do I pull the engine?

Do the engine mounts unbolt from the bottom? I can't seem to see them from the top.

What needs to be disconnected from the engine?

also are there any lift points attached to the engine? I saw one in the back by the throttle body on the passenger side, is there one on the front somewhere? Or should I just wrap a chain around the engine?

What I really need to know is if there's anything special I need to do? or is it pretty much the same general procedure as every other engine? vaccuum lines, fuel lines, power steering lines, etc...

They unbolt from the bottom and just disconnect every plug,wire,hose on it. I just wrapped a seatbelt around the intake and yanked mine out.

The front lift point is the bracket between the alternator and a/c.

Re: How do I pull the engine?

Its possible to carefully move the AC compressor to where the battery is if you don't want to discharge the system.

And give yourself some more room by taking out the radiator.
