As for tips, I have a big one. The steering rack can be completely unbolted (hoses, steering rod ends, etc...) and slipped out towards the passenger side first, then lifted up and out towards the driver's side. No need to lift the engine or even unbolt it off of it's mounts. Getting to those hoses and tightening them back up required small stubby wrenches and such though. Not much room to work down there!
