I think the motor has to come out from below the car...and the tranny can still be attached. Coincidentally, they just pulled the motor/tranny out of a '98 SS this morning on Horsepower TV.

I saw that too.

Yes the motor and tranny can come out together. People do it all the time.

i think i might have to buy a shop vac of some sort hopefully i can get a good deal on one... but even though the engine coolant is a lil thick its still be able to blow out of cylinder bolt holes..
