is there a write up or a how-to any where on how to remove a 1.6l engine or a 2.0l engine? i just need a little bit of guidance since ive never done it b4
 
Undo all electrical connectors/hoses/vacuum lines you think need to come off (label everything if this is your first time.) Undo PS pump and AC compressor from engine (BUT LEAVE THE LINES CONNECTED) and just flop them out of the way. Remove radiator. Undo exhaust pipe that runs underneath oil pan. Take wheels off, disconnect tie rods, remove CV shafts from transaxle (gear oil will kindly lay itself upon the floor at this point.) Place engine hoist chain around motor and transaxle (try to get a solid two wraps of the chain around the whole assembly, one on the left and one on the right.) Undo motor mounts and yank that b**** up and out. Terrible walk through I know, but just understand that you'll save yourself a lot of headache if you remove the whole engine and transaxle together.
