Congrats! It sounds a lot like the project I did on my white '01. I don't know what sort of shop and tools you have available. For me, with the car on fairly low jack stands it was best to remove the transmission, then engine.

I used the 101 projects book which is mostly summarized here: Pelican DIY

Supplemented with some searches here at the forum and a few quick looks in the Bentley manual. Check out the start of Flaps10's engine rebuild DIY too. Post a new thread if you run in to problems.
