In the old days before # matching, the top radiator support was cut out, bolted back in with straps. Much easier to get engine-trans out and back in together.
If you have a lift, pull separately. I just finished rolling around on the floor yesterday pulling the trans from my Ram Van, every muscle and joint is killing me, getting to old for this. Bad part, I gotta rebuild and put it back! But not for awhile. LOL dakota frown
