After rinsing, I let it dry and then removed the 4 mounting bolts. It's easier & lighter without the bellhousing attached, but the engine still has to droop as far as the exhaust will let it to allow clearance for the top of the shifter cover under the tunnel. If one seat is removed, it's better to peel up the carpet & remove the floorplate adapater. Removing the top cover from the trans helps, too.
