A few general tricks.
Get a good service manual to help.
Snap plenty of "before" pictures, especially wiring, hoses and accessory brackets which can be hard to get back right.
Have several sizes of Ziploc bags and a sharpie when you take it apart. Bag and label every part, screw ect. you remove. This makes it much easier to put back later.
Line up a helper for the engine lifting and other stuff... buddy, HS kid ect.
Make a list and have needed replacement parts ready... belts, hoses, ect.
Good luck!
