First you want to disconnect all the wires and tie them somewhere to the side of the engine compartment.
Disconnect the fuel lines. (be sure to let the pressure out of the fuel lines by loosening your fuel cap)
Disconnect the shifting cables from the transmission.
Drain the engine oil, antifreeze, and transmission.
Disconnect and remove the brake master cylinder.
Disconnect and remove the power steering reservoir.
Disconnect the throttle cable.
Disconnect the exhaust. ( use the WD-40 or liquid wrench on the bolts before removal)
You may want to disconnect the transmission from the engine because I initially did not do this and removing the whole assembly was a pain in the ass.
Disconnect all of the radiator and heater core hoses.
Remove the hood.
Strap the hoist chain to the engine and tighten slightly
Disconnect the A/C compressor from the engine and tie off to the side near the radiator.
Disconnect all 3 motor mounts (the one on the front is a pain in the ass to remove so you will need a fat bar and a hammer to try to wedge the bolt out, unless you want to remove all of the cruise control components)
Using the hoist pull the engine out.
Attach the engine to the stand using 4 M-12 bolts that are about 3 and a half inches in length. (you can get these from Lowe's or Home Depot)
