Pulling motor AND tranny from top

I'll be pulling my motor and tranny out the top this week. Any tips on how to get them both out the top?

I usually just pull the motor out the top and disconnect the tranny and leave it under the car.

yeah drop the K,

The hardest part for me to pull from the top was the tranny bolts. I almost broke my arm trying to break them loose.(Factory Tight) I also pulled a muscle that took me away from the car for 4 days.

Total time for pulling from the top, 8 days ( I am a very good weekend mechanic )
Total time to install 1 day

Dropping the K has to be easier.

out the bottom is the way to go, it takes me and a buddy under two hours with a hoist and air tools to remove them both
