To those pulling the engine up from the top like I did, this helps a lot. If anything, pulling the engine with the trans out together seems just as difficult as taking an hour just to lower the trans off the car.
The hardest part I found was the downpipe (o2 emiminating AMS unit) as well as the t-case. Actually, the heat shield held in by 3 10mm bolts was a *****, but so was using 2' of extensions to get off the t-case bolts. The rest is straight forward. t-case off to the side with the driveshaft and lines untouched, engine/trans slid right out the top without a hassle, and I easily separated the trans from the engine once it came out.
I had issues with the TOB release (did it while it was still in the car) so if you don't quite understand the write-up, look up on youtube for a visual. That helped a lot.
Happy wrenching
