engine and suspension removal

The engine and transmission are pretty easy to pull, unbolt all the engine isolator bushing bolts, ground strap, transmission crossmember anud bushing.  Remove the shifter ring (3 shouldered bolts) and pull the shifter straight up.
I put the chain between upper rear transmission bolt near the head and
The alternator ear near the water pump.
The lift point was the back third of the valve cover.  With the back the car up on jack stands it was easy to pull out with just a little bit of tilting.

The front suspension was lowered with the hoist , remember to remove all brake lines and clear everything away from the suspension before unbolting the 4 bolts!

This front piece without the steering rack is 173 unweildly pounds, so don't expect to stop it by yourself if it gets away from you!

The rear axle is supposed to be 169 pounds or thereabouts , remember to remove the shock links BEFORE loosening things and cutting limit straps.

I have to replace one now..

Looks like a funky dana axle.

I'll be stripping and refurbishing these parts soon...

After I take apart the doors, I can start the floorpans!
