Can you pull and replace ls1's from the top?
I've done them from the top as well, without pulling all of the accessories or crank pulley, and with the tranny still on it. It's not as hard as you would think

What accesories didnt you have to remove? I know water pump needs to be, and power steering pump. But what about alternator/AC compressor?
a/c, alternator, and WP were left on.

Yes the motor can be pulled and replaced from the top. I know because I just did mine. The only "worst" part about doing it from the top is that you will more than likely break the oil pressure sender on the back of the block. So be sure to remove it if you decide to pull it from the top. You will also have to loosen and just drop the AC condenser down in order for the motor to clear. You will probably goober up the area above the firewall but it's no biggy just be careful when lifting the motor and you won't. Also, if I had to to mine again I would most definitely remove the crank pulley and water pump. It will give you a ton more clearance room. If you have a car lift available then I would take advantage of that. I didn't have one available so I had to do with what I had.
i just did it from the top this weekend with the crank pulley still on and with the hood on... i took all the acc off just to have the extra room... but its very possible to do it out of the top don't be scared...
Mine came out the top as well with the hood on, it's no big deal. Just move slow and you won't ding anything. I did mine solo and most likely will be droping it back in as well. I had the car on jack stands as I was replacing the rear at the same time(before).
Use a decent engine hoist and your much better off, it does need to twist a little but if you take the hood off I'm sure it's much easier.

did mine out the top and it was easy, also have done them out the bottom, easy as well. When you go out the bottom, you will need an alignment when you are done. from the top, you have to put more stuff on after you get it in the car. so 6=12?? work with what you have.
