Gonna be doing an engine/tranny swap for the 1st time. Tips?



Well, picking up the roc on friday.  I'm going to
build a 2l 16v with a 1.8 head and also install a 4k
tranny.

I'm happy to report that I *won't* have to do this
install on my back, in my gravel driveway in the
middle of the New England winter.  Score!  Turns out
the Air Force Base up the road has a fully equipped
Auto Hobby shop with lifts, air tools and guys that
can help you out.  Whew.  Not that I'm lost doing this
or anything.  :-)

Anyways, seeing as I've never pulled an engine/tranny
from a rocco before, I'd love to hear tips on how to
do this and how I should reinstall my new
motor/tranny.  I'm going to try to install the new
motor/tranny as one unit, bolted together from the
bottom of the car.  Thoughts?  Gotchas?  I'm an idiot
for trying?  :-)
