In general that is the method to do any engine, the 123 is/should be no
different. Fuel lines, electrical stuff, vac lines, and water hoses.
You'll of course have to disconnect the drive shaft and anything
attached to the tranny from the car (shifter!).
Just have a good crane, maybe with one of the levelers, and be able to
lift it out high enough. It helps to get the radiator (and whatever
else is in front in the way) out so you have more room and don't hole it
anyway. Other than that, it is no mystery and no big deal. Don't be
intimidated, just be careful wagging several hundred pounds around on
the crane.
And have fun!

pretty straight forward
undo various bits
keep track of them with notes, taped labels and perhaps a digital camera
lift the old one out
reverse the procedure
be careful
do not hurt yourself
various folks will argue for days about whether it is better to remove
the engine and transmission or to separate them
can be done either way
have to be able to lift higher to take both at once I would think is
one of the bigger issues
and finally, if you need to ask, you might well be better off to hire
someone who has done it lots of times and will do it quickly and
efficiently
Randy who finds it easy to give advice when he is too far away to
offer any real assistance
