I was able to get the harmonic balancer off the crank. I used a wrench coupled to the power steering pulley nut to keep the balancer from rotating.
Got the pulley from the balancer off first...
Balancer came off with two whacks from a rubber mallet as suggested...
After I got the balancer off and then I sprayed down the engine with a degreaser. I let it soak for about 15 minutes and then poured water in a funnel while directing the flow to specific parts of the engine. Helped to control the amount of water I used and I avoided the alternator, etc from getting soaked.
Tomorrow I am going to continue cleaning the engine and try to figure out how to get the A/C compressor out. My order of parts should arrive on Tuesday which includes a new water pump among other things.
