I don't know if that is possible, if it is i bet it would be a bitch.I'm guessing you would have to remove everything from the front of the car. So if you are going to take your motor out just find a lift and drop it out the bottom like everyone else.

I did mine from the top. Tranny and all. I had the heads off when I removed it. I also put it back in the top. It went back in complete with the manifold, valve covers and tranny on.
I had the front up on jack stands, and I had to drop it in at a sharp incline.
Here it is coming out.

Took the motor and tranny out at the same time. No real issues..... Total time to get to this point was 5-6 hours of work. Not too bad....
