The friend that was supposed to help me that day didn't show. I jacked the back of the Bug way up, and slid my little red wagon under the engine. The kid's wagons were all metal back then. I had it passed down to me from my cousin, who is now 72 yrs old. That wagon is still usable, quite rusty though, and sits behind my garage.
Anyways, I unbolted the engine and let it gently down onto the wagon, then jacked the car up higher, and rolled wagon and engine out. I lifted the engine out, placed it on the floor and lifted the new engine onto the wagon and did everything in reverse. Voila! One-man engine change, no pulleys, no lifts.
