Engine removal/ Winterizing process

I have bad motor mount , lag bolts in my Catalina 30. To fix it I need to pull the engine. It will be to cold here to get it reinstalled before its winter up here in Canada. I am FWC. My plan was just to winterize the motor as per usual, and once all the antifreeze is where it should be start the disassembly process.
I think that's all I have to do to prepare the motor for - 20 this winter. Am I missing something by doing it this way??
Thanks
Greg

If I understand this, you have a FWC engine, so the winterizing part involves the RWC circuit. If you winterize the engine the way you usually do it will be fine if removed and placed elsewhere.
