If you dont have a lift, you have to pull it from the top.
Thats the only way I do it. Its actually quite easy.
Here is one of the best tutorials you will find. Compliments of CF member/vendor "Cajundude"

I'm going to try it out of the bottom in a couple of weeks. Did it out the top over the summer and it seemed harder than necessary, kind of made me feel like it was designed to go out the bottom. I think with some 6 ton jackstands (just a guess, but I was thinking about 20 inches off the ground) it can be done.
Hopefully I'll have some photos to show in a month of so...

You'd better get it higher than 20" off the ground. The motor wont even clear the bottom of the car. And thats if its laying on the ground.

Out the top for sure. Took me and 2 buddies from 10 am to 5 pm to go from running to new engine running and that included putting headers on at the same time(it had stock manifolds) jack stands and a cherry picker and your good to go
