When the engine is in new garage - do yourself a favor and replace the rear main seal and exhaust manifold gaskets. Everything else is accessible, but especially RMS is a pain to do when the engine is in the bay.

AC is evacuated on the donor due to accident damage, but I'll have to work carefully with that on the recipient when I remove that engine. According to Haynes it can be done without disturbing the system...we shall see. I did that without emptying the A/C. You can see A/C condenser laying on the ga...
