did the headgaskets asplode?
this. you don't have to, but its easier to connect the trans to the engine out of the car. but because of that, you'll need to remove the front driveshafts which will mean you also probably need to disconnect the struts...so get an alignment after you're done if you do it that way.
how old is the "new" engine going in? EJ's love to leak oil after about 100k and its hard to get to the cam seals once the engine is in. check those as well as valve cover gaskets. now is also the time to check your steering rack boots. when you swap the trans, check the throwout bearing and grease the clutch release fork pivot ball.

its a pretty straightforward engine removal.
