Motor re & re from the top or Bottom

So I went to the local cruise tonight with my '71. Everybody knows I have a 340 coming for the car. The general consensus on pulling the motor is mixed. I was going to pull it from the top like always but I had a guy offer me his shop and help to pull it out the bottom. I had a reaction from a few guys saying if the K Frame torsion bars etc. have never been out DON'T do it," the car wont be the same and its opening up a can of worms" "your not putting a hemi in it " etc...........thoughts?:banghead:
