Removing engine

[Atl_Monte]

Whats teh best way to go about removing the engine(LT1) from a 95 Pontiac Trans Am Formula? I notice that the eninge is some what under the cowl. So was wondering what all do I have to remove first and is there away for the engine to be removed from bottom?

[Trash man]

u can get it out from the top but the correct way(i think) and prob the easiest is to drop it from the bottom

There is no correct way or a "by the book" way. Some prefer the top, some prefer the bottom. Both will argue the other is easier.

I dropped mine out the bottom, engine, tranny, and k-member all together. I have a guide put together that might help you. I need to upload it still.

I had to drop the resolution of the pictures or the file was too big to upload to my account.

How thats some really helpful information, because from looking at it it looked as if the easiest way would be to remove it from the bottom...thanks for the info it will deffinatly help...did you have to remove the radiator and shroud during this removal because it doesn't look like it in the pics...

Radiator and condenser can stay in place.
