Would it be better to pull the engine and the trans together from under the hood? Or tell my girlfriend to have someone do it that has access to a lift? Scott B. "I'm a self-made man...

I'm getting too old (and lazy?) to try and squeeze under there with jack stands and wrestle that thing in and out. Don't need to wreck my back before vacation either. Scott B. "I'm a self-made man...
