Hey folks, I'm stripping a wreck for the motor and I want to get the motor & transaxle out as fast as possible.
@TME_Steve and @6A13TT TYPE S and @trotty do you guys have any advice for me.
I've previously done a clutch job myself so I know how to pop shafts and stuff, but I was being careful. I don't give a crap about anything except the motor and will happily bend stuff that is not sellable.
I was gonna go:
Does that sound feasible or am I gonna find a nasty blocker to my plan? I'm totally happy to nuke the front bar with an angle grinder with cutting wheel too. Only problem is I think the AC is still gassed.

I was gonna go:
- Remove all cables and hoses between engine and body
- Pop driveshafts
- Leave the transfer case connected
- Hook engine to crane and take the load
- Remove all engine mounts and roll stops
- Move engine forward enough to drop driveshaft out
- Lift engine out of bay
