Every thing is ready for engint removal but for bonnet and the line to the clutch cylinder.

I see no reason to remove the cylinder. Comment?

Think I will remove the line and stoper it with a plastic golf tee?
 
Jack, if you remove the cylinder and just tie it back out of the way, without removing the line, you'll save yourself a clutch bleed afterwards.

Oh, cool. That's what I will do.

I have often pulled the engine partway out and then unbolted the clutch slave when it is exposed and easy to unbolt (and reconnected it the same way). If you are a bit careful then it is fast and easy.

PS- did you drain the trans oil yet?
 
Oh yea all fluids out.

Only the clutch slave and the bonnet remain.
 
That's the way I like to do it with the clutch too Jack! (I like to run a piece of safety wire through the piston shaft and the ears of the slave just for insurance so it doesn't come out at all!). In fact, I like to undo the intake and exhaust manifolds and just tie them back to the steering column, then I do not have to undo fuel lines, throttle cables, etc. (Just that much less to undo and re-do!!) Just lift the engine and tranny out!! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbsup.gif
