If this is a turbo car you can try to get it installed without pulling the engine but the angle has to be perfect. When I did mine I spent a long time trying to get it to go on with help and making sure I had the correct clutch (had an old one too). Anyway, ending up pulling the engine back out (was a rebuild/port install) and mating them together and putting both back in the car while losing the Redline fluid out the tranny, expensive puddle (didn't know the driveshaft had to be there.) Anyway, even out of the car it was hard to do if the angle isn't perfect it won't go, guess that's what racing style means. Anyway one trick that helped was to get some long bolts that fit and cut the heads off them and use them to help line things up, still was a pain though but it could just be my car, who knows?

Take the drain plug out of the tranny first and drain it. The driveshaft seal needs to be changed anyway, as long as it is apart. 5 dollar seal. Make sure you label EVERY nut and bolt. For my 90 vert, the 4 bolts holding the bellhousing are all different lengths. Have fun!
