My input is based on 20 year old memories and a few photos I took while I had the car apart, but here goes. .. My EM had a Richmond 5-spd transmission, removable transmission mount and C4 Corvette rear end. I pulled the transmission with bell housing attached several times while chasing a leaky HTOB problem. I don't recall pulling the transmission without the bell housing. .. Based on my photos, it appears that if I disconnected and removed the transmission support and driveshaft, it might be possible to slide the transmission back far enough to disengage from the clutch. The two obvious problems from my photos are the shifter clearing the hole in the tunnel, and the safety hoop that surrounded the driveshaft. I don't recall if the hoop could be removed. To clear those obstructions it might be necessary to tilt the aft end of the transmission down and I don't have a good idea how to do that without a lot of extra work at the engine. .. Good luck.
