I have the 4+3 in my '87. I pulled and replaced the motor just like Agent did (with the bellhousing on, minus the Fram filter :-). Pulled the trans first so I wouldn't have to remove the hood.

You can leave the balancer on, just remove the pulleys. Take the cover off the wiper motor or you'll likely break it.
