Monty:
I personally stay away from the shop manual-suggested valve cover bolts for
pulling the engine--don't really trust them--, and do indeed use the alternator
bolt on one side and the rear exhaust manifold stud on the other. Also a
leveler is very handy due to the extreme angle you have to shift the motor and
tranny into to remove and re-install them. If you have a Harbor Freight
nearby, levelers sell for $20-30 there.
