>Yeah, it's pretty easy to remove the driveshaft from below. But
you can also (I seem to recall) get at those front bolts from 
above, if your tranny tunnel has the original large hole meant
to provide access for lubing the U joint (filled with a large
rubber plug). The ABS/fibreglass covers usually don't have
this hole - you have to cut it yourself.

When I had the original 71 frame under my TR6 I pulled the driveshaft
totally from underneath.  I could undo the bolts at both ends and pulled it
out from the transmission end.  I did this at the VTR in Ft. Mitchel, KY
when I had to change a U-joint.  The 73 frame and mount blocks access to
the front flange.
