Thread: how do I remove engine from 74 camaro?

any tricks or tips besides draining all fluids. Any writeups on this stuff? This will be my first time doing it.

You might want to take some pics of where all the wires, hoses, brackets, etc. go before you start taking things apart. This will help your memory when it is time to start putting it back together. A Chilton's manual covering your year and model would also be very helpful. If you don't want to buy one, it should be available for checkout or copying at your public library.

I agree with Dave, if it's your first time do whatever you can to remember what you take from where. After you do a few it becomes second nature, but your first can be a scary experience. I used to use masking tape and mark all the wires that I seperated as to where they went, that may be another way to go about it. You should have a Chilton's, Haynes, Climber manual of some kind and if you don't I would go get one. It will come in handy for all kinds of crap, I probably have 30 of them from different cars and truck I have owned over the years and still keep them around.

Either way, try to mark your stuff as you disassemle so you know where to get it back together, other than that, unbolt it and pull it.
