Hello Fred,
Sorry to hear about your troubles, but before you remove the engine you may want to try to pin down the source of the squealing noise, perhaps by running the engine without the the accessory belt and also checking the starter motor itself.
IMHO, removing the engine on one of these cars is actually easier than the standard front engine/RWD configuration as long as you have some basic tools and the space to do the job.
You are at the right place as this forum has many members with plenty of experience that will help you (use the search function and you will be surprised).
Good luck
