LOL. That's because half the crap that is in the OE engine bay is MISSING on your cars! I've seen it. Its a vast cavern in there!

I pulled the last motor with the tranny attached.
Needless to say, I put the motor back in with the tranny already on the floor.
You will DEMOLISH a whole bunch of stuff trying to yank the motor out the top with the tranny attached.

Now, if you do it the way the shop manual would have you do it, it is a different story completely.
