Is it really necessary to take it out to paint it?

yes, unless you are going to repaint the same color.

if you don't take it out, you can't paint the engine area, and it will look weird when you pop the hood.
but who gives a damn.. nobody knows what's in your hood if you never open it! YOU SLEEPER!!

simple. leave the entire motor on the subframe and drop the whole shebang with the body on a lift. nore sure how youll get the non rolling chassis to the paint shop tho.
