I have removed the engine alone and the engine/trans assembly together. Easier to remove and reinstall the engine/trans assembly as one. Especially with the install. lI picked up a lift/leveler at Harbor tools cheap. Works ok.
Drain the trans and the torque convertor first. Much lighter that way and gives you the opportunity to change that old fluid and trans filter the easy way.
Get a Haynes - most basic tool yet.
There are a zillion bolts in there, take your time to get them all. Especially with the stuff mounted to the transmission, lines, wires, tubes, ...
I removed the radiator and cut a piece of plywood to protect the ac condensor. Worked well.
Hope you have a real good torque wrench. Lots of aluminum there, should all be have a torque wrench used, or risk accidental thread stripping.
Last note here, the motor mounts give everyone fits. There is an allen bolt accessed throught the engine cradle, it gets real stuck. I could not break it loose. Finally used an electric impact, it is not as strong as a pneumatic, and rattled on it until it would twist out. Then used anti sieze when bolting back in.
