familyguy, if you have picker i would go out the top. i've done it both ways and the top with the engine and tranny is easier. no laying on the ground. picker does all the work. you'll have to unbolt the power steering pump and the ac condensor from the block if you don't want to lose fluid and fridgerant. front end sits on jackstands cause you have to take the axles out of the tranny. it all comes out pretty easily, though. mark all your vacuums and plugs. there are a lot of them. it took like two hours to get it all out from jacking the car up to finish. it will take longer if you've never done axles or changed motor mounts or unbolted the power steering pump-etc. cause you'll have to figure all that out.
