1 man job mate if you've got an engine hoist . 2 man is easier but not needed really!

ive taken one out on my own inc gearbox etc with no hoist etc just a trolley jack.
I loosened off the anit roll bar and bottom ball joints jacked the car up either side REALLY high (3 tyres/wheels under each side )
carefully placed the trolley jack under the sump...
guned off the engine mounts and hey presto one engine out
