Finally Time to start working on this truck.
Got the Hood off working on getting the engine wires disconnected.
So far the Transmission lines are off
the accelerator cables are off.
Thinking I'll just unbolt the ac compressor and move to the side so I do t have to discharge the system.
Tomorrow I'll start on getting the motor mounts off.

Yep, only 2 nuts per motor mount.
Remove the oil filter and starter. Check the back side of the heads for ground wires going to the firewall.

Thanks this is my first time pulling a engine of this size. all the engine tear down and removing I've done had been on a 71 Vw Superbeetle. It's been easy so far.Keep up the good coverage & keep the pics coming, I'm about to be doing this myself in the very near future. 'Scribed

If you don't pull the core support it is definitely a little scary with one of these swingin from a hoist that high. It's even scarier when you have the rebuilt one going back in !

My engine hoist doesn't pump up so we're using a SkidSteer
I'm thinking of pulling it straight up.

Assuming you've already unbolted the torque converter, the trans is probably sitting on the alignment pins on the back of the block. Once you start lifting the engine, a pry-bar should get them to let loose with minimal difficulty.
Use a thick piece of plywood as large as trans pan or 2x4 wider than pan...must go past edges plywood best3/4" place wood on jack near front of pan and lift gently...as 6ou raise engine jack trans this way once engine and trans seperate you do not hqve trans drop and tq cnvt fall out.
IMHO removing clip makes engine re n re easiest....but thats just my opinion...having pulled a rad support once I know from experience I wont do just rad support again..nope clip or nothing

I rented an engine hoist to pull my engine, and maybe I was just lucky, but it was large enough and adjustable enough (even in 1 ton adjustment) that I had no problem lifting the engine over the radiator mount. I did of course take the radiator out before this. I just really couldn't see doing all of the extra work of pulling the front clip- I'm big into conservation of energy..
