[Spridgets] Pulling the engine

[Tracy Drummond]

Larry,

You forgot to mention the clutch line, the reverse light switch connections,
and tach.  You also approximate low on number of bolts.

Pull as one !

FWIW,

It is amazing difficult to separate the 1500 engine from the tranny in
the car . There are approximately 1,973 bolts holding the 2 together.
Easier access when out of the car.
