Started the tear down of my current setup this weekend. Had the engine out in about 2 hours, was fairly smooth. As usually I forgot to disconnect that wire harness that is attached with a 10mm bolt on the trans. Caught it before any damage though... Here are a few pictures.

What type of place are you doing the work in? Is it a storage unit?
