I pulled the motor+tranny+dps. As far as time, I can't really say as I'm taking my sweet ole' time.
Most seem to report 25-30 man hours. Add more for any additional repairs/replacements/installs while you are in there.

most everyone drops the whole motor and sub frame, hours to do this will depend on the mechanic and tools, lift etc ,

awhile back wms claimed they can have a motor out in 30 mins...
it turned into a big long joke...not sure if you recall the thread or not. I know how shops work by book hours, but i just thought it was funny they bragged about pulling a motor out in a half hour...makes you feel all warm and fuzzy for paying outrageous labor rates. Glad i work on my own car, thats all im saying.
