Mike, Now that it will be on a four post lift in a heated fully stocked repair center. I plan on trying to do most of the engine removal by raising the body on the rack and slowly exposing the engine, that way I can route the AC lines as directed in the manual. If you have any removal advise from the journey please pass it along.

Here's how I did mine. More pictures on pages 7 to 9 here:
