Just out of curiosity, what's with the whole "pull the motor out of the bottom" thing that everybody insists on doing? I feel like that's all I ever see/read about when it comes to taking a motor out of a 4th gen. I've pulled out and installed motors in tighter engine bays than the 4th gen f-body has.

What's the average time to do it out the bottom for you guys? (My buddy looked in the shop's labor book and at paid for 19 hours to remove the motor).
I tried dropping the k-member on one car; not a fan of it.

Out of curiosity my buddy and I decided to go out the top. Seems way easier to pull it out the top by taking the accessories, radiator/condenser, manifolds, intake off and separate the flexplate. Gives plenty of room to get to the motor mounts and bell housing bolts. Approximately four hours into it (this is with only one of us working on it at a time) and all we have left is one manifold bolt and the motor mounts.
