Adriaan wrote a pretty good explanation, but if you have fuel
injection R/R of the engine will be the hardest part. You've got two
fuel lines, a couple dozen wires to remove and keep track of, 2
heater cables, 4 heater hoses, and a throttle cable. On 69- you must
support the rear of the transmission while the engine is coming out.
It's a lot of stuff to keep track of the first time through and most
people will goof up somewhere.
