engine removal
What is the best way to remove the engine out of an 86? Is it necesary to remove hood? Do you remove the tranny out the bottom or both out the top? I did a search and did not come up with anything, if there is threads on it already, please keep sarcastic comments to your self and post the link.
Thanks

If your trans is good then it it is fairly simple..But nothing is simple...

The top bellhousing bolts are a PITA to get to ;
access to them made easier by lowering the rear of trans and using long extensions over top of the bellhousing from underneath
which means trans is half way out anyway

just pulled my 96 with a 6 speed
left hood on; left transmission in car; suupported tranny on a jackstand.
took out radiator; shrouds and A/C condenser; dropped exhaust system; disconnected slave cylinder from bellhousing; pulled pretty much everything off engine: intake, heads, pan, starter, all the accessories
pulled stripped block and bellhousing as a unit; had my doubts but it was easy
