Engine removal
I just pulled the engine and tranny on my G35. I used one of the top bolts holding the bellhousing to the motor and one of the longish thick bolts on the front of the engine. I had no front end on the car so the engine just came out the front.
You can also disconnect the steering shaft at the rack, unbolt the lower control arms from the crossmember and drop the engine and tranny out the bottom by unbolting the engine crossmember.

cant you also do the same thing with the power steering pump?

got the engine out, i just swung the condensor/radiator out of the way, but then it fell and snapped one of the AC lines. Do those plastic autozone things look like little round clips with tabs on them?
