Default Whats Easier?
I have to pull my motor out of the top because I'm not so blessed to have a hoist to work on. Is it easier to pull motor and tranny at the same time or just the motor? I'm looking and it looks like a bitch to get to the bell housing bolts. It might be a lot easier when i have the intake off.

Someone must have an opinion.

In case anyone hasn't noticed, I'm very free with mine, but I haven't had the pleasure of an F-Body engine swap just yet...

motor and trans at the same time. Bell housing bolts can be a PITA.

You can use a cherry picker to lift the car off of the k-member/engine/trans assembly and do it from the bottom
