If you don't mind me asking, what was the total cost of replacement?Most Japanese engines are pretty sane as far as knock sensor location but I don't know where it is on a 1ZZ. On my Subaru it's right on top of the engine at the back in plain view. My GMC requires removal of the intake manifold as you mentioned. It's also in a low spot which fills with water if you wash your engine and the connector corrodes and gives a CEL.
$1100 for engine$100 for water pump (just in case)$30 for thermostat i think (just in case)$15 for locktight (for torque convertor and flywheel)$100 ($35 a day for 3 days for mhobby shop bay & tool rental)$105 for broken OCV Valve (P1656 Error)$40 for antifreeze, trans fluid & Oil & Power steering fluid (we took the power steering hoses off by accident.

Welcome to the DIY Vibe Engine Replacement Club! Lots of fun, huh?!? I managed to get away without any CELs when I did mine. Good luck ripping that IM off again!

Transmission stayed in. We had to unscrew the torque converter thru the starter hole & the hole on the bottom (its covered by a brake show shaped piece of plastic.). Looking back leaving the transmission in made things easier because all the extra wires and stuff sat on that side anyway.

With no experience going that route, all I can say is to each his own, but to me it seems simpler to leave the tranny in.
