I released the linkage but failed to disconnect the shifter. Does the console have to come out to get the shifter out?

Engine Pull In Process - Help
I have the engine up enough to clear the engine mounts but can not get the engine to slide forward. I pulled two bolts in the tranny cross member (pulling engine and tranny together. I disconnected the driveshaft. So what did I miss? I am sure this will be a duh 
but I can't figure it out. Help.

It was the bracket from the tranny to the exhaust pipe. Thanks for the help and allowing me to vent. Guess dumb a&& is not curable from the internet.

Scott,
Doing dumb things and not knowing what dumb thing to do next is a big part of what makes playing with old cars SO much fun. Having the engine out sure makes cleaning the engine compartment a lot easier.
Regards,
Alan
