start by disconnecting the wire harness at the main plugs on the shock towers, take the wheels off and undo the hub nuts and pop the halfshafts out of the tranny. disconnect the coolant lines and such after that support the engine either with a picker or from underneath depending how your taking it out and unbolt the engine mounts. its really pretty simple i used to be able to yank a motor in about 2 hours or so.

I meant like do i need to change anything else to make the d15b start correctly or just take engine and tranny out and just throw in d15b in?

i believe the y8 is obd2 rite? my d15b was obd1 you may have to switch it over to obd1 and use a p28 ecu.
