Next came removing the engine and transmission assembly. I know some people like removing them separately, but I always like doing it as a unit on any car. It can be a pain to access some of the bell housing bolts and you're forced to keep crawling under the car each time you rotate the engine. The removal is fairly straightforward. The only thing unusual is the shifter housing which most transmissions don't have. It can cause some clearance issues when trying to get the assembly out, but if you take your time, you can maneuver it. An engine lift leveler is a must.
