Also, drain the fluids before you pull it. The coolant drain is a 17mm hex headed plug on the passenger side under the alternator.
Don't forget, that's a 600# ish motor. Don't stand under it when it's in the air it will flatten you

Are you scrapping the W123 body. If so, just cut out the radiator support (obvioulsy, remove the radiator and condensor). That will make things a lot simpler.

oh ... don't cut that up then. I thought you were just getting a motor / keeping a motor.
