Guys and gals the car is home finally.

No problems or check engine lights !

Just charged the A/C system and it blows cold, key here is to vacuum it real
good.

When it comes to the pulling the engine the only advice I would add is to
remove both left and right ignition coils and associated plugs wires.

This allows more space on either side of the engine when extracting it and
installing it.

Also mark the hood very well with paint with alignment stripes so that re
installation will be a snap.

Also do a pressure check to check for water leaks.

Very pleased with the car.

With 85k plus on it she runs fine.

When I checked the belts I saw know wear what so ever.

Going to let them run until the 52.5k that the books says this time

If I can think of anything else I will post it.

Oh yea I just remembered be careful when removing the half shafts 

You have to disconnect the lower A arms to raise them high enough to remove
them

In the process you can disconnect the parking brake.

That's it guys 

See you on the road

Total cost in parts was around $1900 including the A/C charge of R-12 which
cost $162.
