2. You will need a lift to raise the front of the car so that the engine and gearbox can be pulled out through the bottom.
3. Drain the oil and coolant from the engine. Drain the oil from the gearbox. When finished, replace the drain plugs.
4. Remove the battery and its platform.
5. Remove the air cleaner with its tubes.
6. Disconnect the upper and lower radiator hoses. It is advisable to remove the radiator, having first disconnected the wiring from the thermal switch and the low coolant level sensor.
7. Disconnect the throttle cable from the carburetor.
8. Disconnect the return fuel hose from the carburetor and plug it. Disconnect the fuel supply hose from the pump and plug it as well. Be prepared for fuel spillage when disconnecting the hoses.
9. Disconnect the brake booster vacuum hose.
10. Disconnect and plug the heater hoses.
11. Remove the bolts securing the ignition wire bracket to the camshaft cover. Remove the distributor cap along with the wires and bracket.
12. Remove the distributor low voltage connector clamp plate and disconnect the connector. Place the plate in place and secure it in place.
13. Pull the diagnostic socket out of its bracket and disconnect its ground wire.
14. Remove the TDC sensor (secured with a clamping bolt) from the flywheel housing (see photo).
15. On models with power steering, remove the power steering fluid reservoir from the dashboard and hang it on the generator. Disconnect the tubes from the power steering valve and plug them. Tie the pipes next to the distributor. Close the tube fittings on the valve.
16. Disconnect the speedometer cable from the gearbox (see photo).
17. On models with manual transmission, disconnect the clutch cable and reverse light switch wiring.
18. On models with an automatic transmission, disconnect the transmission cooling system hoses from the oil cooler. Disconnect the shift cable and the reverse light switch/starter interlock wiring.
19. On all models, disconnect the wiring from the two cooling system switches on the intake manifold (remember the colors of the wires so you don't mix them up when disconnecting).
20. Disconnect the wires from the generator.
21. Disconnect the wire from the oil pressure switch.
22. Disconnect the ground wire from the gearbox housing.
23. Disconnect the exhaust system downpipes from the manifold flange.
24. On models with a manual transmission, disconnect the ball joints of the gear shift lever mechanism (to disconnect the hinges, you can use a mounting screwdriver or a large screwdriver). Where applicable, disconnect the reverse gear lock cable (on the latest models).
25. To disconnect the drive shafts from the final drive, loosen the lower anti-roll bar links, steering knuckles and steering ball joints on both sides. Also release the intermediate bearing by loosening its lock nuts and turning the mounting bolts half a turn (180°). Disconnect the left drive shaft by pulling the hub outward and then install a tool to hold the differential axle gears in place. Disconnect the right drive shaft in the same manner.
26. If the hubs cannot be pulled back enough to disconnect the drive shafts from the final drive, the drive shafts will have to be removed completely.
27. Loosen the bolts and remove the lower engine support bracket.
28. Connect the hoist hoist to the two lifting eyes of the engine. Depending on the design of the lift, it may be necessary to remove the hood cover.
29. Slightly lift the engine and gearbox with a lift just enough to remove their weight from the mounts. Remove the upper cushion bolts (one on each side). Be prepared for the engine and gearbox to shift slightly after removing the bolts.
30. Lower the engine with the gearbox down (through the engine compartment), being careful not to touch anything.
31. Raise the front of the car and pull out the engine and gearbox through the bottom.
