A couple of tips from my experiences. To make sure everything was disconnected I tied a string to the bracket on the top of the engine then got underneath and passed the thread all the way around the engine and transmission. Found a couple of things that were still connected.

The red arrow is the attachment point, the blue arrow is the nut that helps drop the string down.



Also the hand-brake cable gets in the way both during removal and installation, especially on the driver's side it can catch on the engine and complicate the installation of the fuel lines. During installation when you are reinstalling the A/C compressor with the engine several inches below its final installation point, verify the fuel lines are the right side of the cable.
