Well I know you wanted an update, so here it goes... I got as far as the air intake and power steering pump, drained the coolant. Then I tried to get the engine mount bolts off - the ones near the camshaft cover. They were seized like cement. So I soaked them in a little lquid wrench, and went at 'em with my breaker bar. They weren't budging, so I whipped out the impact driver. They were still screaming " WE WILL NOT GO!!! " I tried my breaker bar again and it finally started turning, and then I realized it was turning because my 1/2" to 3/8' adapter was breaking. After that I tried an electric drill I have with 410 lbs of torque, and it smelled like it was about to catch on fire. The bolts are still on. I might just have to take the damn car to a shop. If the engine mount bolts are seized like that, then I don't even want to imagine what the crankshaft pulley bolt is like.
