Having just done this I can say the following.

*Electrical connectors were pretty easy to get out of the way.

*Fuel lines were easy to deal with, but make sure you depressurise first.

*Some coolant lines were a pain to get clamps off (like the hose going to heater core) but I cut the ones that were too much trouble.

*Intake is easy to get out of the way.

*Fluids are easy to drain.

*Trans bolts are a pain to the a**s. That was the biggest problem.

Being a rear-wheel drive car with a 4cycl most stuff is fairly easy to get to. The trans bolts being really the only difficult part.

Get some masking tape to label all the connections that you need to disconnect (vacum, coolant, wires). The tansmission was the biggest pain the ***. I think in hindsight I should have tried to pull the engine with the transmission. To do this would would need to raise the car and use a cherry picker with an angle adjusting pully thing (I don't know what the proper name is for this device).

It is usally called a "leveler" or "equalizer." It indeed does its job well.
