Take it out of the bottom. K-member and all is easiest way to do it. The tranny bolts are damn near impossible to get out and getting all the connectors is a bitch too without dropping the engine down.

true you do have to remove alot more going through the top but if your caught without a lift your gonna do what you have to.

Ive pulled my motor a few times, I always go through the top. The only thing that is a pain in the a$$ is the tranny bolts (Pull the trans to) All you have to do is remove all the radiator and fan stuff (No Biggie) and you will be amazed how much room that freeze up. In my personal opinion its easier to pull from the top.

Spoken like someone who has probebly never pulled one from the bottom. Dropping the engine out is easier and there is much less chance of damaging something. I fyou don't have access to a lift. I've done it twice with floor jacks.
