Engine swap

[MarkF]

Hi guys, ive been looking at my 320 as i will shortly be doing a 2.5 swap. The bolts around the bell housing look extremely tight. Will it be easier just to undo the 3 bolts on the prop, 2 gearbox mounts and gearstick then pull the hole lot out in one? Easier to line the engine/box up out of the car too im thinking before fitting the new engine?

I would remove the engine and box in one (fitting a new clutch and lining up engine/box is easier when its out of the car), but the prop bolts can be a bugger to undo as well - 6 of 1, half dozen of the other.....
