usually the motors are pre-pulled, depending on the junk yard. not to mention the guys probably wont appreciate you toying around with the engine.

but all in all, remove all hoses, spark plugs\wires, manifolds, and loosen it up

the junk yard taht i go to has most of the motors intact, i seen some motors with the head off, while still in the engine bay, some with the tranny off, and i look in the car and its there lol. so just basic tools would work?

breaker bar is your best friend

pull the exhaust manifold off, leave the intake manifold on and pull it off with the head

if you're going to take all the tools you listed you souldn't have aproblem removing a head. take a flat head screwdirver with you so you can pry the hoses off.
