A lot of people say the bottom by removing the whole drivetrain. I removed mine from the top without any problems. I can tell you the MTI removes all of their engines from the top despite the fact they have a lot of lifts, so I would say the top works just fine, especially for the home mechanic.
Here is my removal.

top is fine, I'll drop out the bottom if the swapping diff, clutch, DTE brace in addition to the motor
although you can't beat the 'shock' factor when the owner stops by and sees his/her car on the lift minus the complete drivetrain/suspension

If lift - bottom.
If no lift, top.

Yea, I could imagine. The few people that came over to my house while the project was in progress had some funny looks on their faces. A perfectly shined, running great car just ripped to part and stuff covering all of the floor of the 3 car garage. Gotta love it.
