I'm gonna have to pull it out the top cause whoever curbed the donor car curbed it good. the whole crossmember/rad mount is pushed back about 5 inches at the bottom.

easiest way ive found to pull the motors outta neons..

they are made to come out of the bottom, you can tell by the passneger mount that it attached to the frame rail

take your axles out, unbolt the sub frame from the body, unbolt your mounts, unplug the wiring fromt he computer, take off your clutch, shifter, and throttle cables, and take the spindles off your struts, take the pin out of the steering linkage, then jack the car up, the engine, subframe, front wheels and all will fall out,

im just warning you bro, pulling out the top will be a bitch, the mounts will give you hell, the mount that it on the timing belt case will bust the timing belt case, not to mention there are no pulling points... trust us man, cut out the parts you have to replace anyways, and drop it out the bottom, its not worth damaging anything else on the engine.. if there were pulling points it wouldnt make a differnce, but the only place youll be able to pull is from the intake, which is plastic, and will break... ive dont it man... dont try it.
