Which is easier
Engine is out of my '89 Jetta getting new rings. Is it easier to install the engine without the intake manifold and then install it afterwards? Or is it easier to connect the intake manifold first and then install the engine?

Re: Which is easier
I'm pretty sure it's just as easy with the intake on,... but maybe someone has dropped an engine in a MK2 more recently than I have.
