Default Engine removal

gottajalpa84,
As Raymond has said the engine can only come out the bottom, The engine, gearbox, diferential, engine chasis, suspension and exhaust all come out as one unit as in the picture. If you are lucky enough to have a car hoist you can lift the car straight up which enables you to leave the shock absorbers on as well, as I am lifting only the rear of the car with a crane and pivoting on the front wheels, I had to remove the rear shock absorbers first (not a difficult job) if using this options(crane) as mentioned by Laust you must either remove the front spoiler or put the front of the car on blocks so as to avoid damaging thefront spoiler. I chose to remove the front spolier to be on the safe side
