I'll start:

Some of these are because the engine was pulled by someone different than the install team.

Do bag and ID everything that you take off or disconnect.

Don't forget to bag and ID everything that you take off or disconnect.

Do tighten and or torque everything that you install or connect. It may be hard to get to it later.

Do keep a list of the sequence of removal and disconnecting things. The sequence matters on reinstallation. For example, the motor mount bolts are hard to get to after the headers are installed.

Pressure test the throttle body cover plate before connecting to the coolant system and filling with antifreeze.

During engine install you need to have access above and below the car. It may be really tight in your garage Rich. Also the engine comes in from the side unless you remove the hood (we did not remove the hood). Once again, it may be tight in your garage.

Did I forget to mention you should bag and ID everything that you take off or disconnect.
