heres a checklist of what should be disconnected before removal:

-heater core hoses near firewall-complete engine harness-electric connectors at fuse box (3) and fusible link connectors at positive terminal (2). -intercooler/intake piping-p/s pump bracket with pump attached (move to the side so you dont have to completely rebleed the system)-a/c pump bracket with pump attached (so you dont have to recharge the system)-shifter -motor mounts (14mm deep and swivel under vehicle works the best)-transmission mounts-driveshaft (best way is to disconnect the 4 12mm bolts located in front of the driveshaft brace that connects to the frame so you have half the driveshaft-drain your coolant and remove radiator

chain your engine and lift slowly to make sure everything is disconnected properly. a buddy to maneuver the transmission would be nice too.

I took mine out in about 4 hrs took of the trany following by the hood

Then just remove everything away slowly headers with turbo, Rad, take out the battery, fuel lines, Power steering lines and then work your way with the electrical there is no rush and just un-clip and label everything. Ohh and for the 2 heater core lines i pulled my engine out mid way witch gave me plenty of room to get to them. Just don't rush and take your time.

Hey i just got done I pulled everything out, it went smoothly. The only problem i did have though was i got the shifter lever hung up, i didnt realize you had to remove that. But everything went smooth and the best place to remove the Drive shaft is at the Carrier bearing the 4x bolts.
