Question [Newbe question] help with taking out the engine in 87 FC non turbo

Hi im having trouble taking out the engine out of my fc. I have taken out all the bolt that connect the transmition to the engine, but its still seams that there is something internally holding it from coming apart. Its mainly stuck int the bottom driver side corner. Please help thank you.

is this a straight drive or automatic car? another question would be do you have the motor mount bolts loose? finally, have you taken the starter off of the car, because that would hold the engine and trans together at that point.

Bottom driverside corner is where the starter is, so that's a good guess. Don't forget the bolt hidden under the starter too. There should be 5 bolts & 1 nut attaching it to the engine, and 1 bolt that only connects the starter to the bell housing.
