Default pulling engine question??

I'm in the process of pulling the engine out of my 71
I have removed the radiator and radiators support
Question? do i have enough room to pull motor
and TH400 since I will replace both i hate to go to
the trouble of seperating them if I do not have to
I guess I'm just being LAZY thanks for your input

Yes they will both come out together or seperate. Pulled them together from my 75 and also put them back in that way. Saves trying to put the trans in from a jack from underneath.

Yes, you'll have plenty of room with the radiator and support out. You'll have to bring the hoist in from the side. Another tip - put the radiator support back in while you work on the engine out of the car. It provides support to the front end, and without it in the front end will sag. It happened to me and it's not fun getting it back in
