I did my swap from above as that was the only available option. Its is fairly straight forward. I left the harness in the car and let it rest on the core support/ subframe. I had my radiator out for easier access & to avoid damage. I left the a/c compressor hooked up and let it lay as well so I did't have to dis/re-charge the 134a from it. The biggest hangup I had was the ABS module and the transmission wanting to bind together on lift-out. A "load leveler" on whatever lifting system you are using will help there. Its a two person job to make sure stuff is all clear and not damaging anything, but it is easy as long as you take you time. ( at least I wanted a second set of eyes, your choice!) All that said, I had the whole powerplant out of the vehicle in less than 1/2 hour.
