Can you guys think of any reason to mess with these dowels if my engine stand mounts fit right over them? If I don't have to attempt to get them out that's a bonus.

Leave the dowels in place, no reason to remove them if your stand fits over them.

I’ve done it in front of my buddy’s garage in town, pulled the motor, head gaskets and up on a junkyard motor, had it in and getting gas down the street in 6 hours. My Choptop. I’ve had practice and I was already set up plus that was prior to having AC in it and generally being simpler than yours including being a manual transmission so no torque converter nuts to mess with. I don’t move that fast these days though, the last go-round took me a few days to complete and swapping the engine in my buddy’s Ranger even longer. Don’t get too hung up on trying to hurry.
