Done this last week..
Just a few tips that helped me:
along with the front end, remove the wiper arms & windscreen drain panel.
I think there are around 3 bolts at the top of the bell housing hidden right at the top
Get the engine crane as close as possible to the cam cover when tying it on.
Remove old engine with the subframe attached, remove subrame from old engine when out & dismantle, attach the engine mounts onto the new engine first, then fix the subrame to them.
The subrame only goes one way around.Attach the gear box to the engine before attaching the subrame to the chassis.
The pipe on the back of the vacuum pump is a right pain in the arse to get to, make sure this is one of the first things that is connected.
I used a jack under the sump aswell as the crane to get the engine lined up to the gear box, i didn't need to loosen up the gear box mount.
The speedo/crank sensor plugs can be confused, if they are in the wrong sockets the engine will start but wont run. if that makes sense!
Hope this helps

a few questions-wheres the best place to disconnect the power steering lines, the steering rack looks like the place , does the sensor(whatever it is ) on the upper part of the bell housing have to come out and the wire running to that sensor comes round the other side of the bell housing-how do i remove it, its jammed on top of the box?
and fortunately i only had 5 bolts on my bell housing, hmm the garage that did my clutch last, very bold
