Default How to pull an engine

I've looked and couldn't really find anything and considering I'm going to be pulling my engine this weekend, I should probably know what to do to pull my engine, what all do I need to disconnect besides the battery and motor mounts, or if there's already a thread that I missed explaining how to do so point me in that direction, any and all help is appreciated

I'd recommend that you start with a good manual, best $15.00 bucks you'll spend! Make sure you have all the tools you need, jack stands and engine hoist. Take your time and be safe, should be able to remove it in less than 8 hrs the first time. btw, auto or manual transmission?

Manual I'm just worried about not putting something back on right or forgetting to put something on

Remove:
driveshaft
trans crossmember
radiator
airbox
shifter
hood (not needed, but will make like alot easier)

Disconnect:
clutch cable
speedo wire
reverse wire
throttle/cruise cables
fuel line
power steering lines
a/c compressor
motor mounts
any wiring harness going to chassis
exhaust

Also decide if you wanna pull engine with or without trans

They make fuel line disconnect tools.

As far as ps and ac. They should just unscrew with a wrench.

Another thing, should I pull the entire radiator or just the radiator hose?

Take the entire radiator out, it's way too easy to damage if you leave it in.
