engine removal advice needed
I need to replace my engine. The factory manual recommend to drop the engine and transmission together. Anyone know if there is room for the engine to come out from top? Also factory recommended to remove the A/C? Can you do it without removing the A/C? I don't want to recharge the system if I don't have to. Anyone with experience please jump in. Thanks.

You can unbolt the AC from the block and leave everything connected just move it to the side. The easiest way to pull the motor is taking off the front and pulling the motor and tranny out through the front. Look in the FI area @ some of the projects that people have done. There's some pics.
