[QUOTE="BReeves, post: 3492288, member: 10973"] PS pump and A/C compressor just unbilt and move aside. Bailing wire often helps hold them out of the way. Transmission cooler lines are removed from the radiator, try to plug them somehow or they tend to drip for a while. Remove any clips hilding them to the engine and then let them dangle. Then remove the radiator, fan, fan shroud, etc., let the condensor hang loose. Good time to pull the hood if not already done. Then get your wiring disconnected, dont overthink the wiring, take a few pics of how it lays in there, but the connectors only go to one thing. Hook up your hoist, unbolt those last two bolts, as discussed in your other thread, then bump the engine forward a wee bit, then up. The reason engine hoist hydraulics are so strong is to test the tensile strength of any pieces of wiring, or cables that you missed. Double check before hoisting all the way out. Then simple swap all ancillary engine components to the new engine and reverse the procedure. Shouldn’t take more than an hour or two. The above was copied from a thread on a Chevy forum. Might give you a little insight on what you are faced with. Tried to provide a link to the forum but how to copy and paste a link on this tablet iludes me. [/QUOTE]
