Thanks to everyone's help, I have successfully removed the engine and transmission from my 1936 panel delivery with a 59AB engine.

It's going to be a long process, working full time during the week slows things down.

I figured I would keep all of my engine related questions in this thread.

The engine is stuck and this past weekend I realized that I would have a very hard time removing the pistons if I couldn't rotate the crankshaft. From looking at the engine I thought that it wasn't the pistons stuck but the valve lifters that were causing the problem because of how rusty they are.

I took off the timing cover and removed the cam shaft gear and then I was able to rotate the crankshaft.

Now I am trying to remove the oil pump and it doesn't seem to want to come out. I removed the one bolt at the bottom of the oil pump (If engine is upside down)

Is there anything else I need to remove to get the whole pump out?
