Got the motor into the trunk using the European "through the trunk" method. Relatively easy. Surprisingly, there was no water damage to the motor whatsoever. The assembly was dry, and there was no corrosion, mold, or otherwise.
My hydraulic fluid reservoir atop the motor was empty however. I topped it up and everything seems to be running quite smoothly now. Only issue is two of my hydro lines from the pump don't have enough slack to place the motor behind the carpet at the correct angle. I rigged it up temporarily until I have the time and patience to deal with that issue.
I'll also have to locate the source of the hydraulic leak which I only assume exists.
