for a serious answer:

*unbolt motor mounts, remove radiator/fan
*remove PS lines
*undo wiring including grounds and ground straps (the cherry picker is very effective at breaking these)
*undo bellhousing bolts
*remove smog lines, and undo exhaust but you can leave the headers
*remove air inlet tube and any associated connections there.
*on an A/C car you will need to undo the lines to the firewall.

basically you get to undo everything.
