Take the hood off. Take something sharp and scratch the paint right around the rectangle hinge pieces before you loosen the bolts. This will help you align the hood back where it was.
Take the radiator out
Engine lift plate would be good. It will let you tilt the front of the engine up.
You will have to take everything loose, lift the engine and the trans up (the trans is usually stuck to the engine some) till the motor mounts clear the frame brackets. Then take a jack and a piece of wood and put under the transmission to support it up high like that, then let down on the engine a little bit, the engine will usually break loose from the trans. Then lift it again till it clears the motor brackets, and pull it on out.
