How hard is it to pull a motor?

I am an Engineer, but not mechanical lol RF....I won't explain it http://web.camaross.com/bb/smile.gif I have found a bad ass person to pull my motor, but I feel stupid that I can't do it myself, is there a good book I can buy? I won't even try putting it back in, but I wanna learn for the next time I have to do this.

get a haynes, chilton, or helms (preferred) manual, if not a gm service manual and it will have all the procedures outlined with diagrams. its all pretty simple, disconnect all hoses (vacuum/coolant) and all electrical connections from the motor and accessories. then unbolt the motor mounts and tranny mount (if your pulling the tranny with the motor) and lift with a chain and engine hoist.

or my way

You need to remove 2 bolts to the master cyl and move it out of the way with the lines intact and remove the strut to tower bolts, and push the struts down and out. Unfasten the computer and set it on the intake. There are 3 connectors that pass through the fire wall you need to disconnect under the passenger kick panel, and pull through. Disconnect the two ABS connectors on each side. Disconnect the 2 front brake lines at the ABS unit going to the front calipers. Disconnect all hoses going to radiator.Remove the alternator. remove the powersteering pump, by removing the 2 10mm bolts and one line and position out of the way. Unbolt the a/c compressor and position out of the way; you can keep the lines hooked up. Disconnect the steering shaft at rack. 11mm bolt. Disconnect exhaust at manifolds. Disconnect the throttle cables. disconnect the front sway bar bolts and let hang. Disconnect the driveshaft. Get 3 quality jackstands and position 2 at the cradle where the lower control arms are, and one at the back of the trans. lower car until the cradle just rests on the stands. disconnect the trans crossmember and unbolt the 6 cradle bolts. The engine wiring harness, engine trans and cradle will all come out at once. Slowly raise lift, making sure there isnt anything still attached
