    ^ good advise there.
    Be safe and double-check everything, don't get into too big of a hurry!

    The Bentley has pretty good coverage of it. Basically, you pull the ECU wiring harness out of the glove box through the firewall. Then disconnect everything that connects to both the frame and the engine. The wiring harness can come out with the engine so you don't have to completely disconnect it while the engine is still in the car. Either drop the driveshaft and disconnect the shift linkage and clutch slave cylinder and then pull the engine and transmission out together or drop the transmission separately. It is up to you.
    Make sure you drain the coolant out of the block or you will be drooling coolant all over the place when you pull the engine.

    But anyway, the Bentley is a good bet.

    He is new to actually working on cars. He just wants to confirm he is getting everything disconnected. I can't get over to his house till Sunday and if he can have one motor out already it would make things go a LOT quicker!

    Removing an M20?

    Does any one know a good DIY on removing an M20. I have been looking everywhere and have yet to find a good descriptive DIY. It would also be nice if there were pictures. Thank you for the help
