Hello Marc,

     and of course when disconnecting the speedo, disconnect the
     clutch hydraulics..

     don't forget the exhaust pipe ...



     also.. under finesse the engine out..

     the "book" says..lift the engine appox 3/4", swing the engine as
     far to the left as possible and remove the right hand rubber
     mounting together with its body bracket..
     the left hand fron rubber mounting and bracket assembley can now
     be easily removed.


     what its about it finessing at around the steering column!..
     there's not enough space to just lift it out without removing the
     brackets and you can't remove the brackets without juggling the
     engine left and right!..

     good luck.. its not all that hard!



     also .. its much easier when removing the engine and tranny as an
assembly to elveate the front of the car on jack stands MORE than the
rear of the car.. ...

this gives the tranny space to swing DOWN at the rear without hitting
the ground.......
