removing engine
I think I have it pretty much down in terms of how to remove the engine. Right now, I have the intake off so here's what I think needs to also be removed. Anything else, please chime in
1) remove exhaust and transmission
2) disconnect exhaust at manifolds and/or entire exhaust
3) drain oil and antifreeze
4) Disconnect all coolant hoses
5) remove a/c pump... Can I disconnect the lines at the pump or do I have to remove the freon. ( I tried disconnecting the lines and I heard freon escaping).
6) power steering reservoir
7) unplug and disconnect any grounds or plugs linked to the engine
8) disconnect all vacum lines, egr, hoses, etc.
9) drink 6 beers
10) call a mechanic and have himcome over
11) have him drink 6 beers
what else guys? Any precautions?
thanks

I would unbolt the AC pump form the motor and leave the lines alone and tie it off to the side of the car the same with the PS pump

On my '91 it would have made is easier if I would have removed the belt pully off the crank first..... 
Two people would have been easier as well
I did do the beer part right though....
