It'll make it a lot easier to remove the alt.
 
Don't forget the gearbox crossmember and ancilleries if that's coming out too!
 
Do you have a factory manual as it will help a lot?
 
Good luck,

Probably easiest to remove the engine & gearbox as one complete unit, if they're both coming out of course. If that is the case, then don't forget the gearstick, reverse switch plug  & speedo cable as well.
I'd be removing the radiator too if you haven't already. More room to swing the engine & less chance of your crank pulley making friends with the radiator core!

last time i dropped mine out the bottom, worked pretty good didn't even remove the bonnet or radiator, but you have to pull more of the front suspension apart

Could I take the gear box out first and then the motor, Also anyone with a engine crane/hoist around the illarwarra or if anyone in sydney can lend one.

From Memory -
 
Remove bonnet, remove radiator, alternator, exhaust, all electrical conections to block inc starter motor, coolant hoses, take out prop shaft, remove speedo cable, remove gear stick, remove reverse light switch, undo gearbox crossmember.
 
The Gregory's manyual is pretty straight forward to follow.
 
I would take it out with the g/box attached as it is a lot easier.
 
Just take your time and go slow as there are always a few things that you end up forgetting.
 
Don't forget to swear a lot and skin your knuckles. 
 
Good luck,
