did you perform other work on the engine at the same time? not critical of your method, just curious because I'm doing this job at some point this year and I can't imagine a world where it would be easier to remove the engine harness, ac compressor, ps pump, catalytic converter, fuel lines etc and then you still(probably?) have to drop the lower ball joint and damper fork to get the axles out, compared to the traditional way with subframe down
might do engine out for timing and pump chain + a proper wash
