motor removal

[4drpower]

ok.... so far I have the wiring harness out, radiator, and am working on unbolting the motor mounts from frame/crossmember.. how hard is it to get to the tranny bolts and is it just the single bolt on the bottom of the car that runs up to the motor mounts that will remove the motor mount? or is there another hidden bolt? would I be able to leave the motor mounts attached to the motor and just take the one bolt out or nut? i hate doing this ****... this motor is a pain in the dick to take out

You need to buy a shop manual.

Wait for Zack to chime in, he knows this one really well.

You have the right idea about the engine mounting bolt, let them stay attached to the motor upon removal. The bolts that connect the engine to the tranny my need the help of a long extension. Bolts that are left are the bolts for the TC / Flexplate, removal, but no need to disconnect the AC compressor, and the same for the power steering pump. Then there is the exhaust.
