Been awhile since I removed mine, but IIRC you need to disconnect the U-joint where the steering shaft enters the firewall, detach the tie rods from the spindles, remove the two large bolts that hold the rear of the suspension beam to the body, and remove the two bolts that hold the steering rack to the suspension beam. I dropped the entire front end assy. when I took mine out, so it might be easier in the long run just to drop the whole front end...really not that bad of a job. If you mark the placement of all of the components prior to removal, you might get away without having to have it re-aligned.....emphasis on "might".
