I am doing an engine swap on a 1995 Pontiac sunfire, does anyone know if I need to pull the engine and tranny as a unit or can I just pull the engine out ?
thanks !!

FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE
1. Loosen fuel tank filler cap to release tank vapor pressure. Raise and support vehicle. Disconnect fuel
pump electrical connector at fuel tank. Start and run engine until engine stops.
2. Engage starter for at least 3 seconds to ensure remaining fuel pressure is released. Disconnect negative
battery cable. Reconnect fuel pump connector. Since some residual pressure may exist in fuel system,
cover fuel line fitting with a shop towel before loosening.ENGINE

INSTALLATION. Drain cooling system. Raise hood fully (disconnect lower end of gas-charged hood
