    Get some rags and cover your front body panels to protect it from scratches.
    If you have a timing light, good, if you don't, mark the distributor so you can line it up when you put it back on later.
    Now, these steps don't necessarily have to be done in this order.
    Disconnect and remove the battery
    Remove the 4 battery base bolts and remove the base.
    Remove the air filter and tubing.
    Disconnect the transmission grounding cable.
    Loosen the clutch cable by turning the bolt on the end and remove the cable from the release arm, then remove the clutch cable bracket.
    I have not worked on a hydro tranny but I believe you remove the clutch slave cylinder as well. There are two 14mm bolts. Be careful not to crush or bend the lines when you are maneuvering it around.
    Disconnect the reverse light switch connectors
    Disconnect the starter motor cables and wire harness clamp from the starter motor
    Disconnect the distributor connectors and remove the mounting bolts and the distributor.
    Remove the mounting bolts and remove the starter. There are two bolts, one is longer than the other, you have to remove the entire starter not just the motor
    Grab brake switch with a needlenose pliers and twist counter clockwise.
