Right ok i'll stick with what i said earlier as doing it any other way is just as much if not more grief!

You will need to remove the exhaust and the rear propshaft
Disconnect the speedo and clutch cables as well as un-plugging the reverse light switch
Remove the gear lever from within the car
Un-bolt the gearbox crossmember and front arb from the car.
Disconnect the front brake lines
Undo the top mounts for the front suspension
Support the engine with a hoist and undo the front crossmember bolts
Lower the lot to the ground.

The above is assuming you have already removed all the plumbing and wiring from the engine.

If i have forgotten anything which i no-doubt have i'll add it later

After it is all out use the hoist to lift the front of the car to enable you to drag the engine etc out from under. Please do it SAFELY though!!!
