2AZ-FE Removal Steps and My Build..
I began my engine build back in July and finished it around Thanksgiving. I documented every step to remove the motor and trans cause it may benefit someone else in the future.
I know I'm not the first to do this but I always say "the more information the better". I will get to my Motor Build after the removal steps.
1. Remove heat shield from hood
2. Remove washer hose from hood
3. Remove hood - mark hood hinge first for re-install
4. Remove engine cover
5. Remove Battery
6. Remove air cleaner
7. Remove cold air shield for air filter
8. Unplug MAF

List of Changes and Mods:
Deleted balance shafts
Had the whole rotating assemble balanced (flywheel,crank,crank pulley,rods,pistons)
Had all the internal parts (crank,pistons,rods,bearings) cryogenically frozen for additional strength
Replace the valves with stainless steel ones (thanks Dezod)
Replaced the valve springs with dual wound REV (thanks Dezod)
Replaced the valve spring retainers with titanium ones (thanks Dezod)
Had the head ported and polished for more flow
Installed ARP head bolts
Ceramic coated the turbo exhaust housing (thermal protection and good looks)
Ceramic coated the exhaust manifold and downpipe (thermal protection and good looks)
Ceramic coated all the I/C pipes (thermal protection and good looks)
Replaced the rods with “H” beam K-1 rods with Clevite bearings (thanks Dezod)
Replaced the Pistons with forged Wiseco 9:1 (thanks Dezod)
Honed cylinders
Resurfaced flywheel
Install Toyota TOB
Install Centerforce DFX 6 puck Clutch
Installed Polyurethane motor mounts (thanks Dezod)
Powder coated the valve cover (cosmetic)
APR X-1 (Allan Phillips Racing) engine management (special thanks Dezod)
The engine is running very well, the clutch is amazing with a near factory feel but 6 puck sprung. I am working through a few X-1 issues but nothing major.
I am only running 10.5 psi at low boost and 15 psi on high until spring when I take off my Winter tires.

Just my take from experience.
I remove the intake manifold before pulling the engine out
I unbolt the power steering pump from the motor and leave it in the engine bay with the hoses connected
I unplug all of the electrical connectors first
also not sure why you pulled the wiring harness from the car?

i always pull engine harness aswell its 5 connectors and a grommet vs disconnecting each sensor, removing the intake manifold to reach the rear connectors. but yea next time i pull mine out sometime in oct i will unbolt the intake manifold, its always a tight squeexe getting it out when its still on once i bent the metal fram that hold the windsheild cowling because the manifold got caught while lifting engine out
