Answer 1

Here are some thimgs tha tyou need to check. Exhaust manifold,flywheel bolts (and or) cover. engine mounts, wire harness,vacuum harness, A.C compressor, and you sho;uld also may have to raise the transmission and engine assembly enough for the oil pan to clear the crossmember. Hope that helps

Answer 2

Try this;
autozone.com/servlet/uibroker
Pull up your vehicle and print out the manual section for what you are trying to do. then take that to where you are working on your vehicle and check off each step as you go through the removal. I do this when I am unfamiliar wiith an engine removal.
Many times I pull the engine and transmission together. I power wash the cavity and spray paint white the engine compartment, usually just on vehicles I own, this sure lights up the area when you go to put things back together.

Answer 3

Well, is the tranny an automatic, or standard? Did you disconnect everything there?

Answer 4

are the clutch forks moving out of the way of the throwout bearing
