It's pretty much like pulling any other engine, but you are better served by pulling the engine and tranny as a single unit.

Do you have a cheapo Haynes manual? That is a good place to start.
You will need a load balancer along with the engine hoist. How are you wanting to pull it? All accesories attached or not?

Depending on what you want to save, If I had to do a quick pull, and all I cared about was the core engine, Id unbolt the engine mounts from below, with an 8mm allen, unbolt the engine shocks, unbolt the driveshaft, unbolt the tranny cross member, take off trans wiring (with snips)
Sawzall the exhaust, cut or unbolt all coolant and electrical connection, and the throttle. Cut everything that is not worth saving. Save the glowplug relay, monovalve etc. hoist with trans still attached, then throw trans in trunk. Should take about 2 hours if your handy,

Since it is going to the junkyard, use a sawzall and cut that pesky piece of sheetmetal between the headlights (the one that has the VIN number & codes). This way you don't need a load leveler, nor do you have to lift the engine so far up.

When I pulled the motor out of my parts 300D, That's what I did. It was a heck of a lot easier to pull that way. Made a world of difference.

Runs pretty darn good now that I have the injection timing set right.
The manifold in that picture is going back on next week.

My timing was set too retarded (Something like 22*BTDC). It was easy to start but it idled very rough, had alot of gray smoke when cold, high exhaust temperatures, and the idle speed had to be high for it to idle acceptably.
