Engine Swap

I may take on an engine swap in my 99 vert. Can someone point me towards a tech article or pointers for this job. Thanks.

Just start taking things apart.

Are you going out the top or bottom?

If you are going out the top google/search for Cajundude's writeup on his site. Its a great writeup. I actually just took on the job myself and am going to pull it from the top.

I did the cajundude thing from the top. Not too bad. I ended up dropping the whole cradle, which he didn't. Not sure how he got his out with ac compressor attached. Go for it.

I prefer the service manual; although, it does not seem to be a popular choice on this forum.
