Torxxx, you gave me this list: its alot easier to lift the engine out. Take radiator out disconnect fuel lines/heater core lines remove rubbber air intake boot unclip the two main elec bundles and disty wires right below the coil unbolt power steering pump (leave hoses hooked up) unbolt AC compressor (leave hoses hooked up) should sit where the battery goes to get it out of the way. drop exhaust (4x14mm nuts) engine mounts (2x14mm nuts) unbolt 4 bell housing bolts (14 mm) pitch stopper/throttle cable But my AC unit has solid pipes going to it, not flexible hoses. There's no way to move it unless I disconnect the hoses, and then I have to pay to get the AC recharged (as well as knock another hole in the ozone layer) Am I missing something?

I'm pulling the engine in a 91 Loyale to replace the clutch disc. So far all is well. Think I've got everything disconnected. Somebody told me to unbolt the PS pump and AC compressor but not to disconnect the hoses. I think I've got the compressor unbolted, although there's a bolt that looks like it screws upward into the compressor from below, and can only be accessed through a little gap between the belts. I'm not sure if I need to loosen that and don't have the right tool, so if I do need to buy it I need to make a trip to the store. Also, are the three star-type allen bolts accessed from top of engine holding the PS pump on? I'm having a hard time telling what is holding on and what is holding it together. Thanks.

This may be very dumb but I can't get my radiator to drain. It's a 91 Loyale. The drain valve is a plastic job on the bottom right corner or the radiator. You turn it with your fingers. I can get it to turn but I'm not getting any fluid to come out and yes, the radiator has fluid in it. It's very stiff to turn and I'm afraid to crank on it and break it. Any comments?

I appreciate everybody's advice. Hopefully all goes well tomorrow.

I've got a 1991 Loyale with badly worn clutch disc (easy to rev engine without car moving). So I figured I'd replace it this weekend. I've never done this before and am looking for any feedback before I get started. Is it easiest to pull the engine? Is there anything I should know not to do or is it pretty straightforward? Thanks.
