[Mach 1]

you dont have to have the upper intake off to get the top two bolts on the AOD bellhousing. They can be reached with intake on as well as the hood, but you should have your hood off anyway if pulling the motor.

If you have someone experienced helping you, why all the questions? Its kinda hard to explain how to pull a motor over the internet. You can get a chiltons manual or something similar which will tell you all the basic steps you need to follow.
