Or, undo the four bolts at the differential end and pull the main
driveshaft. During the pull/reinstall, you need to be careful to not
snag or damage the short splined end still on the tranny, but that's
not too difficult to rig up a way to hold the U-joint straight. After
the assembly is back in, reinstall the driveshaft at your leisure.
Note that the U20/5spd is a good deal longer than the R/4spd. I've
always pulled the radiator and upper support bar to give myself a
less-steep tilt angle.
Don't forget the ground straps and oil sender hose :-)
