heater hoses, make sure you put them on before you drop the SR in.

Driveshaft, just unbolt the "U" supports, and pull the KA motor and transmission out all together, driveshaft pops right out.

Get a good torque wrench with a good extension, helped me get to some obscure bolts.

Label all your parts.. bolts, etc. Put them in ziplocs and just keep track of them.

Make sure you got enough buckets to catch all the car blood that's going to spew out all over the ground.

Have fun and take pics of your bloody knuckles for us.

but as to the original question....the first reply hit it pretty well, but just make sure you have the 4 jackstands, a jack, and a cherry picker or 2 makes it even better. get all of the parts/fluids ur gonna replace beforehand. and however long u think its gonna take, multiply by 3. and have all info readily available printed out style for refereences, helped me a ton
