From a previous post:
It's certainly easier when you have room to move around, but dropping the engine is quite a job in itself for a first timer ( like me). Mine's a tip so I dropped the engine with the transmission. You need a bit of space to do this.. ( I didn't). You can do the tensioner rails in the car if you are flexible and patient. Wayne Dempsey's book is good for the tensioner procedure.
Now if I can only get the motor back in the car...

You have access to everything in the engine bay (coolant tank, etc) go sit in the engine bay and look at everything. Identify things that might need replacing, take out and clean the MAF, change the AOS. Essentially carpet bomb maintenance / weak points.
