Definitely need a Bentley Manual. You can use a piece of threaded rod to hold up the engine when you remove the RH engine mount (on head). Run the rod from the block (you will find a hole) to the fender liner (you will probably find a hole). Gaskets needed are available at Advance Auto or Sobnet.com. Your machined surfaces should be OK if you didn't overheat - check them with a straight edge and clean them well. Removing the AC compressor (setting it aside) without unhooking the AC hoses is a little frustrating because of the way it is mounted. You need a special socket for the head bolts which is readily available. The job will test your skills as a mechanic but you'll save a lot of $. Take your time and have some releif wheels to take the pressure off.
