Trav:

First, after removing the seats, gear shift, emergency lever and the center tunnel, remove the trans. Then, remove the bellhousing. With a couple of able (pre - beer) assistants (one to operate the crane and another on the other side of the car to watch and help stabalize the motor), the motor should come out in a straightforward manner.

There are, of course, a number of other chores to be done before attempting to lift out the motor; remove alternator and brackets, remove oil filter, unbolt exahust/side pipe system and remove, unbolt carb and linkage and remove, disconnect water amd oil temp/pressure lines, remove radiator hoses and radiator, disconnect bolts in engine mount (the more room you can make, the better), etc. You will also have to remove the steering wheel and you may want to disconect and remove the steering shaft to the steering rack as well.
