If it's anything like my '89 Civic... it was a bit of a tight fit (TWSS). I was able to remove the driver's side front wheel and get it detached from the bracket and belt. Then I could turn the steering wheel to one side or the other (don't remember right off ) to get the steering linkage out of the way enough for it to come out the bottom of the car.
It was close and took a bit of finagling to get it out.
Otherwise, you were going to have to take off the intake and take it out of the top.
