WHY? That's a week worth of work in itself.
Use a floor jack, jack the engine up and pull it straight out the front.
Leave the bonnet alone. 2 guys, a floor jack, a rag over t he rack and
slide it right out.

The d/shaft will fall right out when you start moving the tranny
forward. Do drain the tranny or it will leave a big mess once the shaft
falls out.
> I plan to pull the cross member -
I gotta see that! it's part of the car and welded in.
Unbolt the tranny, 2 bolts on the bottom,(9/16 wrench) 2 bolts in the
side inside the car on the tunnel, (1/2" wrench) remove the shift can
(boot) and shift lever (3 bolts around the base 7/16" wrench)
Don't forget the ground strap under the car and the speedo cable.
