out the bottom man it's the only way to do it. Not sure about the AWD but the FWD I just drop it out the bottom. Get the hoist on the motor. Jack up the car and pull the axles out of the hub. Disconnect the radiator hoses, unplug harness, disconnect power steering. Take of passenger side mount and driver side mount. Then jack up the hoist and undo the crossmember bolts. The lower the engine to the ground, jack up the body and pull the motor out from under the car with it attached to the crossmember. :)

Yeah we are going out the bottom. Half of the fun yesterday was getting the front clip off the pallets and onto jack stands. All the weight is in the front, so we put the 2 6ton stands under the horizontal croosmember at the nose of the car, ramoved struts, hubs axles and everything associated with it.

Unclipped all harness' necessary and kept as much on the motor, as far as harness, as possible. AC and P/S lines are all disconnected, DP is off and s is driveshaft.

Will decon the side mounts first with the hoist on and then the front and rear, but I ma going to decon the front dogbone form the cross member since the stands are on the member
