I will add a great little tip....

Before you take your engine off the chasis for the first time, turn the car upside down and take a PERMANENT marker and draw circles around ALL four of the screws that are holding the engine in to the chasis. SO, when you put the engine back on, all you have to do is line the four screws back up inside the circles and you wont have to worry whether the engine is in its correct factory position or not.
(I'll post a picture when I get home from work.)

I have taken my engine off three times already and never have to worry if it's put back on in the right place matching up with the gears.

This can turn into a nice little FAQ for us new guys if everyone adds their tips here.
