Re: (VWralley)
it was actually surprisingly easy. after we got it lined up right [and removed all the shift linkage, which we should've done in the first place] it was just a matter of getting the car low enough around the motor. Saved ourselves atleast 170$.
Actually having the motor in is a big motivational boost. Kind of like the end is on the horizion type thing. [I was going somewhere else with that, but It got away from me, haha]

Re: (9IN3TH1NG5)
up from under is the way to do it. Done several myself and only did the top drop once, going back to your method. I am about to do the same with my 16v, but I luckily have a 1 ton engine hoist. I won't be lifting the engine however. I'll be bolting chains to the bumper mounts and lifting the front of the car with it instead. Cake to lift and lower around the engine. I bought a stand to rebuild the engine on, but found this hoist by my friends house for $75 including a leveler on craigslist. Returned the stand and convinced my buddy to split it with me (he actually paid $40 of $75 - sucka)

yeah a hoist would've made it a little easier to position the car around the motor or even to have the motor like an inch off the ground just to be able to freely swing it too and fro to clear stuff as the cars lowered
