Default Removing engine from top. 99 Trans Am

Guys,

i know to some this may be an idiotic inquiry, but I’m looking for help and this is why this forum is here.

Im pulling the motor from 99 Trans Am from the top (please no debate about whether bottom is easier). I can’t seem to get the block to break loose from the transmission? I just put a new clutch in about 1000 miles ago and the tranny was stubborn as hell to get back in.

Some advice would be helpful. Should I slip a pry bar in between the block and tranny to help jimmy them apart or..?

Thanks for the help. This is my first time doing this so any help is welcomed.

Thanks
