Ahhh... Keith.. Good point! :) I was using my experience with removing my drivetrain and got carried away (good thing I wasn't explaining how to remove the steering column!). However, there must be some wires that need to be disconnected. Electrical charging system (generator/alternator) comes to mind, minimally. Yes, the extra oil sump does make remove a little more...interesting. I built a very simple wooden cradle to handle this. See images of my engine on my web site.
