4 bolts on the bellhousing plus little 10mm nut that holds the dust shield on, 2 engine mounts, 2 radiator hoses, air inlet pipe, throttle cable, exhaust down pipe (2 bolts, possibly rusted in!) main power wires on starter motor, couple fuel lines, then unplug all the wiring plugs. think thats about it!
installation is the reverse of removal ;)
fairly straight forward stuff, plenty of room to get to most of it apart from some stuff on the drivers side of the motor.
