The harness from the ECU out to the fuse box actually travels between the motor and the intake manifold which has a large plenum on the bottom. The axles were a bit tough and the half shaft had a support bolted to the back of the block as well.
It was just difficult cause there are so many wires/hoses/hardlines (the power steering pump on the BACK of the block* it was just hard to get to everything.
I disconnected alot of stuff but doing it myself it took me about ummm 16 hours total?
lol.
Given I've never fully pulled a motor myself cause I've had assistance, this time I'm going solo. This was my first toyota motor pull.

However - I think it would have been just as difficult really. Just would have to worry about the ABS unit getting clobbered ;)
