You might consider removing the engine and trans as a unit and that would give you the opportunity to check the clutch,flywheel, and pressure plate. If the engine and tranny need re-painting or parts replaced, it makes the job much easier. You will have to remove the hood and radiator and all other "attached" parts, such as starter wires, heater hoses, clutch linkage, shifter lever, exhaust pipe, choke and throttle linkage, generator/alternator wires, rear trans mount etc.. sounds like a lot, but probably a couple of hours. Take the nuts off the front engine mounts and as soon as you get the weight off them, remove the engine mount supports from the engine.
You will of course have to have a hoist to lift it all out, and an adjustable engine lift is worth its weight in gold. Hope this helps.
