With an AOD, I would lean even MORE to pulling both at the same time.
I only (out of the 20+ times) pulled it this time without the trans, cause the trans came out months before the engine did.
My 351-W and C-4 tranny went in/out altogether.
With a 5-speed, you can unbolt the trans, then unbolt the bellhousing, then only yank the block (as in the photo).
WIth an AOD, its nearly impossible to put the tranny on and line up the torqueconverter and splines for the pump form under the car. TRUST ME!!! Do BOTH together, and bolt the tranny on the floor, and make suer you line everything up, and the motor rotates freely (not binding) when you put the tranny on (#1 thing to get you mad) when you have to do it all over again...
