I am going to document some of my progress a bit after the fact, as I did not have time while it was taking place.

I began the engine removal by pulling accessories and other items off of the engine, attempting to photo-document and label pieces as I went. Started with the skid plates, radiator hoses, engine fan, fan housing, etcetera. Pulled the alternator, power steering pump, and associated bracket so that I could use a bolt through one of the tapped block holes as a lift point. I drained all the fluids from the radiator, engine, and transmission. Got the transmission supported and pulled out of the way (with some difficulty due to an overlooked bracket for the rear HVAC heater hoses) and was then able to lift the engine out of the engine compartment. Sounds simple, but took a full day for just this. Got the Suburban rolled back outside, and called it a night.
