not really, well yea it's a bitch but hay, it will all pay of when it's done. I got so many pipes to replace but that's all in the end. I m hoping to have the wiring harness out this week so i can start cleaning it up and start installing all the parts and ordering what i really need.

Updates!
Well this is how my motor looks as of right now. I got the intake manifold out and i m planning on taking the lower one out and the alternator to. I got the injectors and the fuel rail out. The fuel line connect to the fuel rail bottom of the motor is such a bitch to take out! Took me a half hour to take out.
Good think i took the intake pipe out cause i just found 2 more sensors i need to replace.

Pics!

VSV for either the fuel pressure regulator or the EGR (cant tell if its towards the front or the back

EDIT: I see its the front one now. Thats the VSV for the FPR.

lookin good so far Fonz, are u going to pull the head off it?

no i don't plan on doing it cause i m assuming there is nothing wrong with it until i turn the keys to start it up in the future.

knock sensor, got it

Then other thing, VSV, what is it ?? How hard is it to replace both and are they both connected to the wiring harness ?? There wiring's were both burned off.

Seriously, replace that timing belt regardless of how good it looks. I know you said you don't have the equipment to pull the motor but that would be the best thing to do. Also, and I don't mean this in a bad way, you appear to be very ignorant, meaning unfamiliar, about the 7MGTE. You will need some help putting this back together. Myself, I am very JZ ignorant, catch my point?;)

BTW, the car is very nice.

It has already been said but I will say it again. You really should pull the motor and go over everything. As I see now you need a main/front harness and engine harness. It is a whole lot easier to route tthe main/front harness with both fenders off and the dash out.
