okay on 71-77 Vans you CAN remove it out the pass. door. I have done two that way, one a 440, the other a 360. I took the front of the motor off both when I did it. Also I dropped both trannies.
When I parted my rotted 94 recently I pulled it out the front. but left the 518 in place (waited till the motor was out to drop it). I raised it on jackstands and used my buddies picker for it.
Because it was rotted I pulled the front end stuff and the bumper (bumper was nice so I saved it.) and I cut out the lower radiator support. I did have to pull apart the front of the motor and pull the beer-barrel intake. I didnt have to pull the manifolds or anything.

High volume pump is a waste.
I have swapped engines in my '79 twice. Raised the van, no exhaust manifolds, no intake. Grille, bumper, and the sheet metal by the bumper came off.

I just did mine this winter and out the door is soo much easier mainly not having to work the oil pan over the crossmember. Drop the trans, pull the pass seat and have at it.

We did it that way all the time. This includes new vans still under warranty. Tranny comes off easy, pull the manifold and out she comes.

That picture reminds of what the motorhome looked like and the vans I used to work on. Why not out the door, why would you go out the front on that model? It was easy to work on also, everything is right there easy to get to.
