2.8 Quattro Drivetrain questions

So I'm in the middle of an engine swap right now, and am wondering if there's anything specific/out of the ordinary I need to know about our driveshafts as far as removal/reinstallation

Thanks In advance!

Hey, I was wondering how your engine swap project fared. I plan on doing the same job soon and could benefit from any pointers.

Just keep everything together that way when it comes time to reassemble, you arent hunting for random bolts and such lol. Also I'd recommend labeling all your electrical connections

Doc, shoot me a PM with a phone number. I can look at my manual and call/text you with hoist attachment points and any further tidbits they mention that will ease the process.
