Time saving tips would be to loosen the throttle body boot clamps before dropping the motor. I didn't and then the boots came loose on the non adjustable clamp side. This caused me extra work removing the airbox, and throttle bodies to reattach. If you remove the throttle bodies remove the engine vent hose on the other side behind the two fuel lines. This hose will pop off behind the throttle bodies and be too difficult to reattach if you don't.

I marked the job difficult, but its really the size of the job thats difficult not the individual steps. when I removed screws I would reattach once I removed the body panel or part. This way I knew which screw or bolt to use to reattach. loose bolts get kicked around and confused later.
