As a follow up to Rob - if your engine is out, change everything you can (hoses, wiring, mounts, etc.). Life is too short to not take advantage of the engine being out of the car. In other words, what a great opportunity to change, replace, fix, improve, a ton of things without being on your back with oil dripping in your face and your hand hitting a hot muffler.

There's a few things that are easy to replace when the engine's out,
like the oil cooler lines. They can be replaced while the engine is in,
yet quite a PITA. The the lines go from the oil filter canister to the
oil cooler, by the radiator. Check these lines before installing the
engine, especially the rubber parts for cracks or weeping.
