LOL, I like the “quite busy for a while” reference!
Well, fortunately, Inever had that experience for real!
We, of course practiced engine failure procedures often, so the sequence of procedures we had to follow to ensure a favorable outcome (NOT CRASH!) were heavily ingrained into our thick skulls!
I daresay that if I were allowed to fly a C-1, S-2 or E-1B tomorrow, I could recall and execute the engine failure on takeoff procedures safely. And, my last flight in one of those aircraft was in 1974!
