The guys over on TIPEC.NET do this all the time. It's free and friendly, and you might get a better response from a few of the guys that already taken theirs out. I never took the engine out my 944, so can't comment.
Not done an engine swap but I understand it is difficult but not impossible out of the top. Out the bottom is much easier apparently. Come over to TIPEC.net as someone has said & there are loads on there that have done it.
Its a tough question to answer. If you have a lift I'd agree with taking it out as one unit - if you are doing the work on your back take the parts out individually. Off the top of my head, for a novice, around 6 hours just for the engine.
