first remove all belts , then remove the ac compressor and just put it on the side do not disconnect any hoses , remove the power steering pump,and alt tensioner ,jack it up and use jack stands to secure it , remove the right inner fenderwell , then remove the crank pulley and dampner, then this is tricky on the ground so dont go up too high, put a jack under the engine , then pull the main mount at the timing belt cover remove the timing belt covers , next check your alignment marks on the gears , they all need to line up before and after the install do this by turning the engine over until they are right , make sure your straight before you go together , i like to strat them when they are open to check belt tightness and make sure im not a tooth off ,

have fun and take your time, and most of all be careful
