Your are right there is a lot of stuff to disconnect. If you have a lift the actual engine removal is not too bad, my problem is that the Quickjacks, that are great for most jobs, come up just a bit short for wheeling the engine out. If I remember it is the bolts where the diagonal reenforcing pieces attach that are the lowest point. 
I don't remember what the necessary clearance is... but is a couple of inches more than the lift of a Quickjack 3500.
