I have the same problem with my 1980, I am going to attempt to unbolt tranny mount, support tranny with jack, and unbolt one side of the tranny x-member if I have to. if that doesn't get me enough room to work, then, damn, I'll try dynamite!!!!

Might be the best solution I think...the trans mount ..not the TNT.

It does take some creative engineering to get in there.
