1985 Cabrio question

[Rabbit16v@attbi.com (Rabbit16v)]

It's a breeze and if you have an engine hoist the easiest thing to do is to
remove the motor and trans as an assembly.  I know others will disagree but
I have tried it out the bottom and It's a pain in the rear and I've done my
fair share of aircooleds out the bottom and delight in pulling a motor out
the top like they are suppose to come out.

If you've done rear wheel drive cars, this will be a breeze!!
