Removing and installing engine
For a beta swap, is it better to remove the old alpha engine with the trans still on or off? What about putting the new beta engine and tranny in the car?

Definitely remove and instal it as one unit, there is so much less messing around. That said, I scraped both chassis rails at the same time when I was reinstalling the beta and transmission in my LC. X3s have slightly wider engine bays.
