There is a guide out there because I wrote it.
That said it may have been a victim of the culling over at .net, I can't tell you either way because my paid up lifetime membership has apparently expired... so i'm locked out of seeing the guides I wrote...
However you do it is a chronic ballache, if I was you i'd start with the exhaust side flange as thats the one most likely to scupper your plans. As you've said, the engine needs to be dropped forwards off the top mount, do it using a jack as it leaves easier access from above than a crane would.
