Default 5.0 engine removal/install question

i plan to rebuild my 5.0 engine out of my 1990 gt. i'm just waiting on a couple more parts before i remove the engine. i have the tools needed to remove and install the engine, just wondering if there are any things that i should be careful with or look out for while doing so? any tips/advice/shortcuts would be helpful.

Just double check everything's disconnected before and while you're taking it out. Just take your time

Try not to destroy your heater core, when you take off the hoses. The hoses stick hard, and you might wreak your heater core trying to get them off. That's a crappy job to do. Then again, maybe yours leaks, and you need to change it anyway.
