We recently removed the full drivetrain out of my CSX and found it easier to remove the engine with just the bell attached (that much easier if you have the smaller Quicktime bell instead of lakewood). Easier to remove the tranny (TKO in my case) from inside the car after removing the tunnel. It's not such a big deal to bolt up the tranny after the engine is in the car. Left the headers in the car.

I've got to believe that the reverse of this is the easiest way to install with just the engine and bell going in on the hoist. I'd pre-position the headers in the car and mate them up with the engine in the car.

Anyway, that's my $.02.
