Start with the line coming from the fuel pump. Break it loose then wrap a rag around it the best you can and continue loosening it. Then work your way through the injectors. You may not have much pressure after 8 months.

Set up a box fan and blow plenty of air through the area so no fumes accumilate anywhere. Put out pilot lights on gas appliances like hot water heaters etc...............

Lift the engine and transmission together. I have seen large nylon straps used. Adjust your hook towards the front of the car, above the forward bank of cyllinders. Lift from there and let the transmission dangle. It should come right out.

I have seen nylon tie-down straps at auto parts and hardware stores. Check a tool and implement catalogue too. These usually have a hook on each end with a ratchet attachment for cinching down loads on pick-up trucks. I use them for strapping down motorcycles etc.........

I have a set rated at only 300 lbs each strap, 20.00 USD. Get a higher rated set that will handle at least 1200 lbs together (600 lbs each) as a safety factor. Use two to do the lift.

Take the left rear wheel off and the inner fender out if you haven't already. Look forward of the wheel opening. The fuel pump should be at the bottom, aft side of the L/H fuel tank unless they moved it for the injected model.
