You need a good cherry picker type engine lift to start, and it works better if you have one with the screw adjustable chain bracket, so that you can get the proper tilt to the engine. I would say that with that tool, and most of the small wrenches available, a hard working person without great mechanical experience, could pull it in 10 hours. You just have to go all around that engine, underneath and to the back of the transmission and loosen every nut and bolt, bracket and connector that you come to. If it is attached to the engine or transmission and attached to the body, anywhere, it has to come loose. And the preferred way to remove is to pull the transmission with the engine. The radiator has to be pulled also, and protect the A/C condensor with a piece of plywood, maybe very heavy cardboard would do.
