No special tricks that I know of, but needs to come out the top. Unless you really want to pull both fenders, the hood, front bumper, rad support, etc. and then drop the subframe, complete with all front suspension. Have pulled C-body subframes before, and fun it ain't.

cant come out the bottom unless you remove the entire front clip since there is no removable k frame but only a front sub frame which includes the frame rails.
Okay....that's what it looked like to me, but wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something obvious. Is there room for the trans to come out attached to the engine? Looks like it's gonna be the old hoist/oak tree route!

Plenty of room with small blocks.

I removed big blocks from C's and did not even have to remove the hood! Slides in and out real nice with the rad core support out of the car which is a bolt on item unlike A/B/E cars. Yes,it is easier to remove with tranny attached,IMHO.
