MK1 Engine removal shortcuts?

[rapieper at yahoo.com (Ron Pieper)]

Getting it out is easy.  Disconnect everything and use the hoist to drop it out the bottom, then
slide it from under the car.  Installation is reverse of removal.  Just be careful, they fall fast
and hard!

IMO this is easier than lifting it out and you can keep the hood on too.
