And I found that with this trans it's easier to remove the bellhousing from the engine rather than leaving the bellhousing bolted to the engine. It's tough to get to the bellhousing to trans bolts.

You should also remove the driveshaft completely to give yourself some working room. Give me a call though, I'll help.

Well, that's goddamned fascinating, because I tell you this, there ain't no way that trans is coming out WITH the bell housing. Remember I have an LS bell housing. There is a bolt from the bell housing to the motor which is totally unreachable (Driver-side high) when installed. Great, this sounds like we may have to remove the motor/trans from the top I can reach all the bolts, though one of them is hard, from the trans to the bell housing. . . I also have to locate the special tool for separating the hydraulic line to the throwout bearing. Man, this is fun.
