Engine help
Having replaced both an LSJ in a Cobalt SS and a 2.2 in an Ion, I can say that they're much easier to drop out of the bottom. There just isn't alot of wiggle room in the engine bay.
Engine hoist/crane or tranny jack if you have a lift or even if you don't. Very easy to drop. I was able to drop mine by myself and slide the entire subframe out. I had help putting the subframe/engine back in though. I would recommend help to watch for you to get the bolt holes lined up for the mounting locations on the sub frame. With airtools, I had the subframe back in the car in less than a half hour.
