Easy.

Disconnect battery

Drain all the fluids first.

Disconnect all wiring.

Disconnect shift linkage and drive shaft.

I usually pull the A/c and power sterring off and hang them to the sides of the engine out of the way.

Remove engine mount bolts.

Remove trans crossmember and support with jack and a board.

Pull it out

later

don't forget swapping from v6 to v8 involves moving the motor mounts on the kmember as well. while you're there swap to poly motor mounts since they'll be out anyways. most of all good luck on your project. if you have questions we'll be more than happy to help you along the way.
