can the motor go in from the top with the tranny attached?

[cory.langford@icbc.com (Cory Langford)]

Not sure on other peoples experience, but I have not found any problems
with pulling and installing an engine with tranny still attached from
the top.  All you have to do is make sure you have the hood off to have
the space and a decent engine hoist.  

if you want to make it a much easier job, I will take the front bumper
off and rad to make it easier to move around.  Oh, and take the
headlights out, then you have an excuse to upgrade to euros and a new
grill ;)

I probably already asked this one a while ago, but I can't find anything
in my archive.

I seem to remember the answer being yes, but that is was much more
simple to install the tranny with block in the car....

What's everyone's opinion? Hope everyone has a great weekend!
