    Not sure of what specifics you need really. How mechanically inclined are you?

    What kind of mods do you currently have? Need more information to better answer your question since something you have installed, or had installed for you might of caused a failure.

    I am not aware of an engine removal video. I could be wrong but i sence that you are highly underestimating the difficulty in removing an engine. Keep in mind that if you plan on a swap you will not only have to remove the engine but the transmission as well. It is more then a weekend job even for an experienced mechanic.

    You should exhaust your options before you attempt to do a swap.

    Answer these things.

    1) Does the vehicle run at all? if so to what extent. [explain a bit]

    2) You said the car is emitting smoke, where is the smoke coming from? The engine bay, the exhaust? If so where exactly on the exhaust or engine.

    3) Do you hear any noises feel any vibrations?

    4) How many miles are on the vehicle? On the engine?

    5) What year is it? Is it possibly under warranty? [your name alludes its a 99 and probably not under warranty]
