Fan housing back together and much cleaner -- not spotless but waaaay better than before. Alternator & impeller as well. Decided to do the right thing and replace the push rod tube seals. While removing the left side valve cover bail I saw a drip of oil...and it was coming from...the #4 exhaust push rod tube seal, outside! Well, glad I decided to do this after all And since some of the cylinder nuts are exposed I'll check their torque.

Note: Drain engine oil, makes less of a mess when removing tubes. PO put too much oil in case so I had oil spilling out of the tubes

Removed the fan housing so I could get to the oil cooler. What a frickin' mess! Over 1/2 the oil cooler is blocked by debris, found a spark plug between the #3 & #4 spark plugs, and miles of caked oil and dirt about the fan housing area

Pictures:
1) Fan and alternator belt removed.
2) I found it easier to remove the internal C-clip in the fan housing that holds the alternator cooling boot, push the boot out, and pull the alternator. The books recommend undoing the boot clamp at the alternator but with the engine on the car skates that would've been a very difficult procedure!
3) Just shows how the C-clip was positioned in the cooling boot.
4) Fan housing removed showing miles of oil and debris burned to the case
5) The extra spark plug.
6) The blocked up oil cooler.

Dropping engine. Pictures:
1) Forward shift linkage apart and cables pushed forward, clear of engine.
2) Fuel feed and return lines disconnected. Thanks to the PO for using crappy hoses...all need replacing
3) Messy, messy engine bay packed up and ready for the drop.
4) Notice that e-brake cables are on TOP of the engine hanger!
