Got her hooked up after i loosened all the mounts
Here's my buddy zack helping me guide it out. We did hook the chains to the exhaust mani's, I'm sure this isn't the "right" way to do it but they're cast iron and its worked for all the other engine pulls we've done for everyone.
This is the awesome thing with this hoist, it still had another 3-4 feet it could go up. We had only used about half of the lifting capacity of the up and down.
EMPTY ENGINE BAY! This is before I pulled the harness, which is a PITA. I also degreased the engine bay and got all the PS fluid and oil off everything. The next time someone pulls their harness i suggest they just go ahead and get the crowbar out and pry the firewall hole out bigger and there's a metal plate of something-or-another at the back of the hole that the harness sits between that needs to be bent out of the way. I'll get pics of that when it quits raining.
You can also see the transmission fluid that went everywhere on my driveway
I made the mistake of forgetting about that. It was dark brown and looked slightly burnt, hopefully that trans isn't toasted but if it is I'll just get it rebuilt. This is where I'm at now. My new harness and 60k timing kit should be here Wednesday or Thursday so I plan to have my running engine out and throttle body coolant bypass done (I think all I need to do is cap off the coolant lines that run under the plenum and remove the assembly they attach to??) when all my new parts get here.
