8/15/24: took off the downpipe, which was wedged in pretty good, I ended up having to remove more of the exhaust to get it off. I removed the tuque converter bolts, and started on the bolts securing the engine to the transmission and differential and the engine mounts. also removed the fuel lines and any wiring connectors and main harnesses I could see.
OF NOTE: the tuque converter bolts were relatively easy to get to but require a shorter socket and a breaker bar if the intake manifold is not removed, there was fluid on the back of the cover that was covering the access hole. I did not check, but I am fairly sure it was oil, possibly a leaking rear crank seal. there was a aftermarket connector for one of the o2 sensors after the cylinders. the exhaust seemed to have been taken apart before and some bolts were no tin all the way.
this video was helpful with removing the fuel lines
