Wouldn't it be a little easier to unbolt the tranny from the bellhousing and just pull the motor/bellhousing assembly out? This way you dont have to mess with dropping the h-pipe, driveshaft and tranny mount. Well I guess you wouldnt HAVE to drop the h-pipe if the tranny were going out the top, but it would probably be easier that way.

I
what would you reccomend? (sorry to take over your threaddrtbiker )

It would be easier to pull the trans first, IF you had a lift. Just go under and unbolt everything. But, Most of us dont Short story, Just bought a C-4 from a fellow in Lyons GA, had the car stored in a garage at an old peanut farm, Walked in an there was a 30 year old lift(the old kind that lifts from the frame and comes out of the floor) man did it make life easy. End of story. But if no lift pull it all at once. Id drop the H pipe so the tail of the tranny doesnt get caught up. And dont forget a big pan. when that trans tilts, its going to dump alot of its fluid.
