Three basic methods; Remove front clip, remove out the top of engine hatch, and drop out the bottom. Is the coach on a good firm surface?
Do you have a few extra hands? Out the top of hatch requires a trolley to move the assembly. Out the bottom, without a pit requires lifting the front of the coach at least 32 inches. I have never done a front clip, but lots of auxiliary things to move out before you can remove front clip assembly.
A pit really makes it easier, but most of us do not have access to one. A lift will also substitute for a pit.
If you elect to take it out the top, take your front seats out first. Gives you much more room to maneuver. Put something down to protect your interior.
I did not notice if you have a 23 or 26. 23 engine can come out the large window on the passenger side, using a cherry picker. Removing the window is not difficult, just an extra step.
Good luck, it's just heavy and awkward.
