Default Pulling motor

hey guys
Can you pull the motor without removing the hood? how difficult it is without remove the hood? has some one done it?? The car is a 93 vette. I am thinking not want to remove the hood. But I think it would be a lot easier to pull the motor with the hood removed.

No need to remove the hood, pull the motor from the side.

R&Ring the hood's almost as much of a PITA as doing the engine. And totally unnecessary.

It can be done very easily. Word of advice, make all your connections carefully. Everything will go back together much quicker.
