Re: 87 Integra
Based on a '90 Integra, you only need to remove the driver side engine mount
in order to get past the housing to the timing belt/water pump area. The
engine needs to be supported with the mount off, but only from below, on the
oil pan, with a bottle jack or similar device; as the engine is still
connected to the other mounts.
After that, your next big hurdle will be getting the nut that holds the
crankshaft pulley off.
