You need to remove the entire cradle and support the engine from the top with some kind of beams across the fenders and one across the firewall and the radiator support. Then remove the trans. You'll never get it out any other way. Keep all motor mounts attached except the ones that are hooked to the cradle. You'll need to pull the axles as well. It's a big job, and a hoist would help a ton.
Before you remove the cradle, you need to mark it so it is back in exactly the same spot, or it will throw the alignment off. Might be a good idea to have it aligned afterwards anyway.
