If it's a van, you have to remove the entire front grill, radiator, A/C condensor, etc. Use an engine lift to support it & remove the bolts to the transmission & remove the motor mounts. Disconnect all hoses & exhaust & you slide that sumbitch right out the front end.
Start to finish will be about 4 hours for a shadetree mechanic. |

It went in in one piece, it will come out in one piece. Since you've never done this I would reserve the whole day. This is why I hate working on vans.

Did you do this in the past? or is this just your it ought to. Where do i hook the hoist i have an A-FRAME where do i hoist it from just let it sit agianst the front and bend it all? it seems if you take the carb+Aircleaner off it might just squeeze. |

Otherwise known as Chevy G20 (fullsized) van. Looks kinda like this:   PS: Says the manual: Warning! Removing the engine will result in extremely slow vehicle speed!, so you may want to reconsider that ;) If you need any diagrams or other information, I can scan it for you, but I recommend buying a Haynes/Chiltons manual. |

You're gonna need a cherry picker type of engine hoist and a lot of band-aids

Been there..done that.
Check the rad support and see if it is one piece on the top or if the center section where the hood latch is located is removeable. I helped do this on a 73 Chev van and the Chilton manual recommended dropping the tranny and taking the engine out through the sliding side door using an engine crane. We made the one piece rad support into a 2 piece and took it out the front. |

I dunno where you guys got the 4 hours from, but that would be the time for professionals with access to professional equipment, to wit, a king-sized hydraulic lift and pneumatic tools.
Also, be advised that GM uses a diverse assortment of American and Metric bolts and nuts in different shapes and grades! Have both Standard and Metric tools at hand! Make sure the hardware store is opened when you try to re-assemble things because you /will/ round some hex heads, or drill out a few Philips, and the cats will run away with the rest. PS: Make sure a buddy has a video camera running, you could make millions! |

Tannerite.
If you do get a Chiltons and it advertises full wiring and other diagrams on the shrink wrap, open it and make sure it has what you need. Mine had that comment on the wrapper and then inside it had a nice note, "Wiring and other diagrams not included to reduce size of manual" and I got it for the wiring diagrams. |
