Take it nice and easy, remove the bits one by one and place them in the boot as you go....its worth cleaning items as you remove them to as assembly is easier and cleaner as a result.

I usualy remove the exhaust front pipe to manifold nuts first and also pop the font pipe to gearbox bolts to. strip to the cambelt and set the crank 60 deg before TDC, then strip the plenum and inlets off before removing the cam covers and popping the belt off.

then remvoe the hoses at the rear, its worth taking the full assembly with heater bypass valve off and out (easy) then remove the coolant pipe which connects with two bolts at the rear of the block.

Drivers side head removal is easy, passenger side is more of a challenge due to the air injection pipe. To get round this you can either

1) Remove the power steering pump
2) Disconnect (and on re-fit re-connect) the pipe once the head has been moved an inch or so to allow clearance.
