Subaru special tool threads into the block right next to the A/C compressor. It's basically a big steel hook. It gives you the second lifting point for the hoist.

Yes, just be sure to disconnect and remove the harnesses for the O2 & A/F

2013-2016 are direct, plug and play, swaps. 2017 and newer have differences that make the swap more difficult.
