Its actually really easy, if you have a hoist.

It took me 5 hours to droped it out.

remove exhaust, leave headers on.
remove drive shaft.
Unplug everything on the trans.
go up top, remove your fuel line, vaccum lines etc.
remove everything up top.
Remove bolts from top engine mounts.
go back underneath, separate ball joints from spindles on the lower control arms.
Remove the outer tie rods out of spindle, aswell as the lower shock bolts.
remove the sway bar end links.
go back back to the transmission, undo the support bracket.

lower the car, postion 4 jack stands under the subframe and 1 jackstand under the transmission.

Remove the 4 bolts out of the subframe.

The subframe should be sitting on the jack stands.
Start slowing lifting the car on the hoist, make sure nothing else is attached.

Like I said, if you have a hoist, proper tools and some knowledge. it isn't too bad to do.
