Take the engine AND gearbox out together through the top of the engine bay. Getting a twist on to get it past the brake servo. Used to be able to do a swap in about 6 hours from start to finish. Exhast / cat converter / down pipe bolts always snap and remember to unbolt the drive shaft on the drivers side from the back of the engine..... And don't lose the clip for the hydralic pipe into the clutch slave cylinder....

If you don't have a crane you can drop it to the floor but it is probably easier to take both out the top
