I'm still in that stage. I don't even have a engine hoist but I will have to find one because that motor is going to come out and get prettied up while I do this.

Those previously mentioned 30 bolts include the ones holding the engine to the trans and the flywheel to the torque converter. As for the actual count of bolts and wires, that was just a humorous guess, but is probably close. Pulling your first engine can be intimidating, but once it's done you will realize it's not that big of a deal. The best thing to do is to put all of your nut's and bolts into marked plastic baggies and take pics as you go. You can rent a engine hoist form most any parts stores and friends can be bought for about a 12 pack a day.
