Agree with Craby. If you are placing the same motor/style setup back in, make sure to label everything. I recommend colored zip ty's with a master notebook explaining what each is. Example double red=knock sensor.

Take a few photos if you think too much time will pass and make your memory foggy. Take the time now to figure out if you are pulling motor/trans as a unit, or separate. Do be careful if you've never done this before. It took me three nights after work (5-8 PM) to pull motor, radiator, trans, driveshaft, etc.
