Yes but you must remove the hood.

Yes I pulled my engine (by itself) with the hood on, but to get both out the hood will have to come off. Unless your a good Hudini.

Re: pulling engine on a 85 (bubbaray)

I pulled my engine and trans togther with the hood on. I had to because I couldnt separate my headers from the Y-pipe. All you need to do is put the back of the car up on jack stands or ramp and use an engine leveler. I bought mine from Pep Boys years ago. There nice to have even if you dont pull the trans because with the leveller you can set the angle of the engine so it lines straight up with the trans and the mounts during installs
