A day or two after getting the body off, I was able to get the rear end off without much drama. I also ordered a new wiring harness kit, it looks solid. All that was left was the engine, and as there was no body, it looked pretty straightforward. I had a stand, but no hoist. A quick search in online classifieds found one near me for $20 a day. Turns out the owner of it has a '72 Datsun 510 that he is putting in a red-top SR20DET, we connected, he didn't charge. Life is good.
This morning I had two of my sons help with the engine removal. There were no hoist brackets on the engine, so we carefully wrapped a ratchet strap cable around areas where there was plenty of leverage. The leveling tool that came with the jack was helpful. After removing the bolts holding the engine mounts and suspension mount, the engine lifted right off. The suspension was able to be removed without much drama, and with a quick internet search, I found a hack that made quick work of the flywheel. The flywheel does have a fair amount of rust, I'll have to address that before putting it all back. The engine mounted on the stand, again without any drama.
I am now at the point where I can start to clean things up and put things back. There isn't much left to tear down anymore. Photos below.
