How skilled are you at this sort of thing would be my first question... What did you do with wire harness... Did you label everything so its not a guessing game. Also Theres a lot, some you might of overlooked. After that I would need to know auto or manual. If its manual its very hard to pull engine and leave tranny in car... You have to shift the engine about, I would say, 3-4 inches left To get the flywheel/clutch assembly out of bell housing... Why dont you just take out axles from tranny and pull everything?

For pulling an engine chiltons is a joke... Try a search for this forum... You are going to have to do one of three things...
1.Remove axles from tranmission. (if you have qeustions on how to do this ask.) Then lift the engine and tranny out together.
2.Same as number on but unhook tranny from engine after removing axles and drop to the ground under car... Then lift engine out.
3.Remove Damper pully. Timing belt covers. And everything else you can possibly remove on the front ( left side of engine) So you can swing it out 3-4 inchs
Number 1 is the easiest, removing the axles was the hardest part I think...
