pull old motor out...put new motor in. your doing the same engine/engine changeover...

mark all your bolts and plastic baggys are your friend here. mark the bag (left motor mount) put all left motor motor mount stuff in there...put in a plastic bin for storage/cleaning

Do what Korrupt1 is saying, Black Sharpie, Plastic bags.

What can also help is a Digital camera and taking pictures of the steps, it can help later on. I've taken pictures of stuff when I'm taking it apart for reference when putting it back together it can help.
