removing TII engine, pull trans or leave it?
some of the writeups I've read say to pull the engine and trans together, while others say to unbolt it on the car and leave the transmission, which is easier? and why on some is it reccomended to pull them together on the T2?

no
its easier to pull it all at once...seriously
its not hard
but be sure to have atleast 2 people...i would suggest atleast 3 to be honest
one to pull the hoist back
one to guide the tranny
and one to watch the whole process to make sure its not hanging on anything while taking it out of the engine bay

Fitness... That's exactly what I did pulling both of my engines, and what I plan to do putting the turbo back in. Worked like a charm, except that I forgot to leave the intake manifolds all bolted up. Try pulling a short block hanging off a tranny with only the front chain hook! We got a little creative with that one, for sure.

most definately pull them out together, i've pulled my motor three times now and have it down to a science. a friend of mine pulled my motor/trans out by himself in 3 hours.

I think the together's have it
Ok, that's the way I'll do it then.
I'm just pulling things apart to remove the engine for rebuild now, I don't know why but I'm more worried about pulling the engine than the rebuild itself, should be the other way around, shouldn't it?

it is not really easier to pull both than to pull just the engine, in my experience. but when putting the two back in, tranny + engine at the same time is the way to go.

The multiple times I have removed FC engines, I've always yanked just the engine. I can do it alone and in under 3 hours. I have also done the engine/tranny yank on a 240SX, it seemed to be more work and a PITA.

i yanked my NA motor by disconnecting the trans, and put a T2 in its place with no problems at all. definatly need two people, one to control the hoist, the other to line up the engine with the trans. took me about 5 min to line up the splines, so i dont know why it would be easier to take the trans out too.

yea but its a bitch to mate the motor to the tranny in the car!!! I think even if it takes longer its worth it if its easier.
