Obviously, you need to remove something from the engine bay to fit more in there. At-least if what you are trying to get in there is as large as an engine.
Take a good look at your car before you take it apart.
OK, thats enough! Clean up the drool. (Remember how large the puddle is now. Take a picture it will last longer!)
You can bet it will be a lake next time around.
I suggest using the BGB to do the following:
Remove the engine lid.
Remove the trunk.
Remove the side moldings on the rear bumper cover.
Remove the rear bumper cover.
Remove the rear trunk liner to expose the ECU.
Now's the time for the blankets or towels. Cover the rear fenders, whats left of the spoiler (if any) and the rear window, 1/4 windows, and roof. You won't want any scratches on your performance vehicle when you're done.
If you care about the engine and tranny that you are about to remove... Follow the BGB closely.
If you DON'T give a rat's a$$, then listen to this...
Drain all the fluids from the car... Most can be recycled at your local car shop. (Goodyear?)
Pull the oil plug and drain the engine oil.
Pull the tranny oil plug. You guessed it, drain the tranny oil/fluid.
Release the bleeder valve on the clutch slave cylinder. Slip some clear hose over the valve and put the other end in a storage cannister.
Start pumping away on the clutch pedal to remove as much fluid from the clutch line as you can. It's prolly dirty as hell. You'll be replacing it later w/ DOT-5.
Release the bleeder valve on both rear calipers. Repeat the steps for the clutch and pump as much fluid out of the brake lines as you can.
Now for the coolant.
Lower the rear end of the car to the ground and put the blocks behind the wheels again. This puts the nose in the air.
Follow the steps in the BGB to remove/flush the coolant. Open the front service valves, and remove the plugs in the under body coolant lines. Recycle and keep away from animals and kids.
