lakewood bellhousing removal

I'll be doing this same thing next spring..... I believe that the engine may have to move a bit to get the bell housing off the engine, due to the tight engine compartment (firewall) and trying to slide the bellhousing off the engine with the clutch in the way.... I don't think that there is enough room to do so. I could be wrong but...... Letus know what you did, it will help me this spring!
