It's only like 11 bolts and a few wires and hoses holding that 305 in there. Well, and gravity, lol.

Spent Saturday taking the front clip off and starting to go through and label everything... not that I think I will need half the stuff ever again.
I have no idea what a lot of the emissions stuff is actually doing...
Next steps are to dig around and find out what other connections I need to remove (throttle linkage, fuel line, ground strap to block if there is one, transmission linkage, starter motor electrical connections, exhaust... anything I've missed?). Then it's a matter of hooking up the engine hoist and lifting both of them out.
I'm not the fastest, so maybe another day before the engine and transmission are out. We'll see if the weather plays nice this weekend.
