OK.got the motor out without much stress.  Had to improvise to hold the
tranny up (did not have the special VW part), 2 2x4's running fore/aft
and a rope between them holds the tranny now.  I think that it will be
harder to put back than it was to get out.

Questions:

1.      I plan on replacing all coolant hoses and fuel lines, and
cleaning and paining all else.  Do I need a new water pump, or is there
a way to check mine?

2.      What should I do the tranny now that its "hanging loose"

3.      Is it worth replacing the motor mounts, or should I simply reuse
them.

4.      Still not sure who will do the rebuild, but is there anything
else I should be doing now that I have all these pieces on my garage
floor?


Thanks!
