Default engine swap

Hey all,

I'm gonna be starting a motor swap tomorrow and I wanna know the fastest way to do this..should I drop the engine and tranny from the bottom, or pull from the top?

From everything I've read. If you have access to a lift, removing from the bottom is the easiest. If you do not, then the top, but you would need to remove the transmission first if I recall correctly.
